NORTH RALEIGH, N.C. — A joint venture between Forge Real Estate Partners III (FREP) and East Coast Acquisitions has purchased Tarrymore Square for an undisclosed purchase price. FREP is an investment fund between The Sembler Co. and Forge Capital. Tarrymore Square is a 256,805-square-foot shopping center that was 65 percent occupied at the time of sale. Tenants at the center include Walgreens, Rugged Warehouse, Rent-A-Center and Miller-Motte Technical College. The joint venture plans to renovate the shopping center and is working with a regional grocer, as well as a fashion retailer. These leases will boost occupancy to about 85 percent by year-end. The Sembler Co. will serve as the property's manager and leasing agent. This is FREP's second acquisition and its first in North Carolina. The joint venture is seeking additional grocery-anchored shopping centers throughout the Southeast.
