NEW HYDE PARK, NEW YORK, 2016-Apr-13 — /EPR Retail News/ — Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM) today announced it has acquired from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board the remaining 45% ownership interest in the Oakwood Plaza shopping center and the Dania Pointe development project for a gross price of $299.2 million, including the assumption of $100.0 million of mortgage debt.
Located in Hollywood, Fla., Oakwood Plaza and Dania Pointe are adjacent properties situated along a heavily traveled section of I-95 (260,000 cars/day) with approximately two miles of freeway frontage. In addition, the properties are in close proximity to the busy Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (24.6 million annual passengers) and Port Everglades international cruise port (3.8 million annual passengers).
Oakwood Plaza is a fully-occupied, 900,000-square-foot open-air center featuring a collection of national tenants including Home Depot, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Ross Stores, Michaels, PetSmart, BJ’s and Regal Cinemas. The gross purchase price for Oakwood Plaza was $215.0 million including the assumption of $100.0 million of mortgage debt.
Dania Pointe is a mixed-use, ground-up development project that will include approximately 900,000 square feet of retail stores and restaurants, 1,000 luxury apartments, two hotels totaling 300 rooms and two office towers. Phase I will be a traditional 318,000-square-foot open-air power center with construction expected to begin in the fall of 2016. Phase II will be a lifestyle center featuring 575,000 square feet of main-street retail, residential towers and office buildings; construction for Phase II is scheduled to start at the end of 2017. The Dania Pointe project will benefit from the estimated daytime population in excess of 1 million people within a 15-minute drive time.
This transaction is reflective of Kimco’s 2020 Vision of owning large, high-quality assets in major metro markets in the U.S., while continuing to reduce its joint venture portfolio. Oakwood Plaza ranks second in Kimco’s Top 10 assets based on net operating income (NOI) and, when completed, Dania Point will be the company’s highest NOI producing property.
