Investment Properties Group sells City Crossing in Warner Robins, Ga.

A 300,000 square foot asset located in a secondary Georgia market, City Crossing was a solid regional power center with a significant opportunity for the potential buyer to come in and recognize immediate additional value through securing some retailer prospects that were reputedly looking in the market. SRS Investment Properties Group team utilized our wide-scale marketing platform to reach every potential public, private, international and 1031 buyer who may be a fit for the opportunity. In generating 14 offers, we created a highly competitive bidding forum which required three stages of narrowing the pool of offerors, eventually awarding the deal to a 1031 buyer with time-sensitive money to place which was willing to put 10% of the money down ‘hard’ day one.
