Bloomington, IN – Matthews Real Estate Investment Services™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, brokered the sale of Whitehall Plaza, located at 3175-3483 West 3rd Street, Bloomington, IN, for $24.1M. The transaction represents the largest multi-tenant retail sale year-to-date in Indiana, according to CoStar. Associate Vice President Zack Bates and Executive Vice President and National Director Ben Snyder completed the sale.

 

Matthews™ represented the sellers, three Indiana-based families who owned the property as a joint venture investment. The sellers were looking to simplify their investment ownership structures and complete individual 1031 Exchanges. The sellers received a timely close, securing sufficient time to source a 1031 Exchange replacement and high profit derived from the competitive deal terms.

 

“Whitehall Plaza recently completed a long-term extension with national grocer Kroger and reported incredibly strong sales at this location,” Bates said. “This provided us with a great opportunity to present to buyers an in-demand essential-business-anchored complex paired with the value of great sales performance for years to come.”

 

The buyer, First National Realty Partners, is a national commercial real estate private equity firm specializing in acquiring high-performance grocery-anchored investment properties. Along with a competitive bid, First National Realty Partners offered a proven track record of execution and credibility.
