Phillips Edison expects more acquisitions
Phillips Edison-ARC, the real estate investment trust that paid $12.05 million for the Publix-anchored Deerwood Lake Commons shopping center in Southside, expects more purchases.
Emily Leverone, director of investor relations, said by email Friday that Deerwood Lake Commons met its acquisition criteria and further diversifies its portfolio by geography, grocer, industry, creditworthiness and lease expiration.
“We look for properties in infill growth markets anchored by leading grocers with strong real estate fundamentals,” she said.
