COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VA. — Armada Hoffler Properties Inc. has closed on the acquisition of Southgate Square, a 220,000-square-foot retail center located in Colonial Heights, roughly 23 miles south of Richmond. The center was fully leased at the time of sale to tenants such as Burlington Coat Factory, Michaels, Staples, PetSmart, Sleepy’s and Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. Southgate Square is located in close proximity to Southpark Mall, a Walmart Supercenter and Dimmock Square, a 100,000-square-foot retail center that Armada Hoffler purchased in 2014. The Virginia Beach, Va.-based REIT purchased Southgate Square in exchange for approximately $21.1 million of debt and the issuance of roughly 1.6 million units of limited partnership interest in Armada Hoffler’s operating partnership.
