Shopping Strip
9th Street Marketplace
901 W Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19123
Listing Price: $11,400,000
Investment Overview
Institutional Property Advisors a division of Marcus & Millichap exclusively offers 9th Street Marketplace, a 2-building, 41,886 square foot shopping center located less than two miles north of Center City Philadelphia. 9th Street Marketplace presents a strategic value add, development or owner/operator investment opportunity at the junction of some of the highest growth neighborhoods in the city. Constructed in 2014, the property features two +/- 21,000 square foot buildings on a CMX-3 zoned, 2.41 acre parcel with a 126 space parking lot.
The first building is a strip center anchored by AutoZone (S&P: BBB) on a brand new 10-year lease.
The second building was originally constructed for Bottom Dollar, a 66-unit grocery chain that was owned by Delhaize America (parent company to supermarkets such as Giant, Stop & Shop, Food Lion, Hannaford, etc). In 2015, Bottom Dollar was sold to Aldi, a German based grocer and the parent company of Trader Joes, with over 12,000 stores in 18 countries. BBB+ investment grade lease. Aldi never occupied as they had an existing store already in the market. The value-add opportunity with Aldi having over 9 remaining years of term presents a unique opportunity for an owner/user or developer to approach Aldi for a buyout to redevelop or re-tenant that space. Or, given the dark anchor, for an investor to achieve an exceptional yield on an income stream that is nearly 70% comprised of credit tenants.
