CAMP HILL, PA. — Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, has arranged the $90 million sale of Camp Hill Shopping Center. The property is located at 3301 Trindle Road in the borough of Camp Hill, roughly three miles outside Harrisburg.  The 430,198-square-foot center was 96 percent leased at the time of sale to tenants including Giant Food Markets, Boscov’s Department Store, Staples, Five Below, Barnes & Noble and LA Fitness.  Brad Nathanson of IPA represented the seller, Cedar Realty Trust (NYSE: CDR), and identified the buyer, GSD CampHill Pradsavi Group LLC, in the transaction. Marcus & Millichap also arranged financing on behalf of the buyer. Cedar Realty Trust will be retaining management of the property. “There is tremendous demand for dominant grocery-anchored shopping centers nationally, given the rebound in the markets post-COVID-19 and the attractive debt markets,” says Nathanson. “Demand is outpacing the supply of first-class, high-performing assets like Camp Hill Shopping Center.” Cedar Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on owning, operating and redeveloping grocery-anchored shopping centers across urban markets from Washington, D.C., to Boston.

Washington Prime Group Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Amid Pandemic-Related Struggles

by Taylor Williams

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Washington Prime Group (NYSE: WPG), an Ohio-based owner-operator of regional malls and shopping centers, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. WPG cited insurmountable operating challenges tied to the COVID-19 pandemic as the primary catalyst behind the move. Against that backdrop, both CNBC and Reuters reported that many of the company’s tenants were unable to pay rent at various points in time over the last 16 months as public health mandates and lockdowns decimated foot traffic throughout the brick-and-mortar retail market. The company, which was originally spun off by Simon Property Group in 2014, has negotiated a restructuring support agreement with its primary creditors, led by Connecticut-based private equity firm SVP Global, which hold approximately 73 percent of WPG’s outstanding corporate debt. The agreement also allows WPG to deleverage its balance sheet by nearly $950 million through the equitization of unsecured notes and a $190 million paydown of WPG’s revolving credit and term loan facilities. Lastly, the RSA provides for an effective four-year extension of the remaining credit facility debt. In addition, WPG has secured $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing to fund its daily operations as it …

Baltimore’s Industrial Market is Stronger Than Ever, And There’s More to Come

by John Nelson

Baltimore’s industrial market has been flourishing for years, but current trends suggest it may be poised to become one of the hottest markets in the United States over the next few years. Supporting these dynamics will be continued growth in e-commerce, a new emphasis by manufacturers and retailers on expanding their “safety stock” in warehouses and increasing land constraints in the Mid-Atlantic. The confluence of these trends is expected to drive average Baltimore industrial rents at one of the fastest clips of any market in the United States over the next two years. In 2021, the Baltimore industrial market recorded its most active first quarter of gross leasing in over a decade. Net absorption of 1.3 million square feet sparked the year with a strong start as the region’s industrial vacancy rate continued to hover near its lowest level in more than a decade. Vacancy in Baltimore industrial properties has been stable since 2018, despite approximately 12 million square feet of new warehouses constructed in that time span. Several important trends are driving the record-breaking market conditions and are expected to facilitate growth into the foreseeable future. The first trend is a sharply recovering economy in 2021 that may perform …
