Retail investors follow new rooftops in metro Phoenix. Three shopping centers in Gilbert and Chandler – among the Valley’s most popular suburbs for new-home buyers – recently sold to large real estate investment trusts.
New York-based American Realty Capital Partners sold SanTan Marketplace in Gilbert for $66.1 million to a partnership between Blackstone Real Estate and DDR Corp. It is a retail project within the larger SanTan Village. This sale, for the 285,000-square-foot center on the southwest corner of Loop 202 and East Williams Field Road, closed late week. It was part of a bigger national deal including 71 retail properties valued at more than $1.9 billion.
