Newmark Capital Markets has completed the $142 million sale of The Shops at Fort Union, a 688,549-square-foot portion of the over 830,000-square-foot regional shopping center in Midvale, UT, a submarket near Salt Lake City. At 86 percent occupied, the center is home to a number of national retailers including Smith’s Food & Drug, Walmart Supercenter, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Ulta, Ross Dress for Less, Michaels, and shoe retailer, DSW.
Newmark Capital Markets Vice Chairman Pete Bethea and Senior Managing Directors Rob Ippolito and Glenn Rudy acting in cooperation with local partner Ben Brown, of Newmark affiliate Newmark Grubb ACRES, represented the seller. The buyer, CCA Acquisition Company, LLC, was self-represented.
“Fort Union is arguably one of Salt Lake City’s premier retail destinations featuring an industry-leading tenant roster, exceptional location and market-leading tenant performance,” said Bethea. “Over 75 percent of Fort Union’s income comes from national credit tenants and more than 50 percent of the tenant roster has called the center home for over a decade. Ultimatley, the buyer was drawn to the reliable income stream and the opportunity to add value through lease-up as well as the possibility to introduce a mixed-use component via redevelopment of strategic parcels.”
Built in 1974 and situated on nearly 110 acres in total, The Shops at Fort Union is located at the intersection of S. Union Park Avenue and E. Fort Union Boulevard at 900 Fort Union Boulevard. The asset is strategically positioned at the confluence of Interstate 15 and Interstate 215.
