NKF Capital Markets announced today that it facilitated the sale and financing of Fortuna Center Plaza in Dumfries, Virginia. The 104,694-square-foot shopping center is anchored by Shoppers Food Warehouse, along with Starbucks, Panera Bread, Five Guys and Rite Aid which is slated to be taken over by Walgreens. Mosaic Realty Partners purchased the asset for $20.23 million.
The area surrounding Fortuna Center Plaza boasts an average income of more than $112,200 per household and the population is expected to continue to grow by an additional 10 percent by 2021. In addition to the strong demographics, Fortuna Center Plaza is ideally located along Dumfries Road, which provides visibility to more than 44,000 vehicles per day. Adjacent to Target, the strategic location also provides easy access to Interstate 95 with multiple points of ingress and egress.
Executive Managing Director Geoffrey Millerd, Managing Director Mat Adler and Financial Analysts Christian Brannelly and Chris Huesgen of NKF Capital Markets which is led by U.S. Head of Capital Markets Robert Griffin, oversaw the transaction on behalf of the seller.
Vice Chairmen Joe Donato and Maury Zanoff, along with Vice President Kassandra Saridakis and Financial Analyst Daniel Salcetti spearheaded the financing on behalf of the buyer.
