JACKSONVILLE, ALA. — Marcus & Millichap has brokered the sale of Jacksonville Crossing, a 56,401-square-foot shopping center located at 1555 Pelham Road S in Jacksonville, a city in northeast Alabama. The sales price was not disclosed. Philip Levy and Zach Taylor of Marcus & Millichap represented the seller and secured the buyer, both of which are private investors that requested anonymity. Eddie Greenhalgh served as Marcus & Millichap’s broker of record in Alabama for the transaction. Situated about 36 miles from Talladega Superspeedway, Jacksonville Crossing was 67 percent leased at the time of sale to tenants including Dollar Tree, Baja California Grill, Cricket Wireless and Five Below, which recently signed a new 10-year lease at the center.

FAIRHOPE, ALA. — Don McMinn and Andrew Koriwchak of Marcus & Millichap’s Taylor McMinn Retail Group brokered the sale of the first completed Wawa in Alabama, a 6,119-square-foot gas station and convenience store located at 18968 Greeno Road in Fairhope. Situated 20 miles southeast of Mobile, the property features a new 20-year corporate ground lease in place with scheduled rent increases and renewal options. The seller, a preferred Wawa developer, delivered the property earlier this year. An undisclosed, locally based 1031 buyer purchased the Fairhope store for an undisclosed price. “In the current net lease market with a surplus of inventory and a constrained buyer pool, accessing local investors continues to be an essential ingredient to deal execution,” says McMinn. Atlanta-based Taylor McMinn Retail Group is currently marketing a new Wawa in Robertsdale, which is the second Wawa station in Alabama. The Pennsylvania-based gas station giant plans to open 10 stores in surrounding Mobile markets. Wawa has 1,058 locations in eight states with plans to reach 1,800 stores by 2030.
