According to JLL executive vice president Nat Heald, “River City Shopping Center offered investors an extremely rare chance to purchase a well positioned shopping center with a strong tenant base and potential long-term opportunity for repositioning. The affiliates of Mark Holdings and Kazis Associates have a long history with the property, having developed it in the ’60s and successfully operated it for over 50 years. We were very pleased to assist them in identifying the property’s next long-term owner.”
