Summary · why it matters

Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. announced the acquisition of Grand Canyon Crossing, a 99%-occupied shopping center anchored by a Walmart Supercenter in Phoenix, Arizona. The investment was made through the REIT's programmatic joint venture with the Sterling Organization, a real estate investment firm specializing in U.S. shopping centers. The property sits on 33 acres at the intersection of Bethany Home Road and 35th Avenue, and its 207,000-square-foot Walmart Supercenter, built in 2005, draws 3.7 million annual visitors, placing it among the top 1% of Walmart locations nationally. The center also includes national and regional tenants such as Harbor Freight, Starbucks, Wendy's, Jamba, and Sonic, and serves a dense three-mile trade area of approximately 220,000 residents with $12.3 billion in purchasing power. James S. Corl, Chief Executive Officer of CNSREIT and Head of the Private Real Estate Group at Cohen & Steers, said the center's extreme density is driving exceptional anchor sales and traffic while the existing in-line merchandising mix is not positioned to best monetize that traffic, providing the partnership a significant opportunity.
