Grocery-Anchored Centers Remain in Demand, But Are Going Mostly to Private and All-Cash Buyers. Investor sentiment toward grocery-anchored centers is the strongest it’s been since the mid-2000s, but increased cost of capital has not only slowed dealmaking activity, it changed the composition of today’s buyer pool. Ninety days ago, the average deal would’ve received 10-15 offers from a mix of investors, including private investors, institutional buyers, and REITs. Today, that same property would receive seven to 10 offers, mostly from private buyers. Pension fund advisors are too concerned about the overall economic outlook to make big bets on any property type right now. REITS, meanwhile, are challenged to make acquisitions pencil out, largely because it’s too expensive to raise money in the public market. (Wealth Management 9/08) [Read]
