Orion Energy Systems Capitalizes on Retail Real Estate Success
Orion Real Estate Group, based in Miami, successfully concludes the sale of The Shoppes at Jupiter, a prominent shopping center located at the intersection of Indiantown Road and U.S. Highway 1 in Jupiter, Florida. The property, encompassing 197,000 square feet, sells for $52.75 million to Ram Realty Advisors, marking a significant profitable exit from an investment originally made in 2015 for $27.8 million. This transaction underscores Orion's strategic approach to enhancing the value of retail assets through targeted improvements and tenant engagement.
During its ownership, Orion undertakes substantial renovations and repositioning efforts that elevate The Shoppes at Jupiter's market appeal. Enhancements made to the center include capital investments and lease adjustments that improve tenant retention. Notably, the shopping center, originally built in 1981 and renovated in 2014, has secured Whole Foods Market as a new anchor tenant, further solidifying its position as a retail destination. The strategic location of the property, surrounded by over 80,000 residents within a five-mile radius and boasting household incomes that exceed the national average, contributes to its long-term viability and success.
Chris Sanz, president of Orion Real Estate Group, emphasizes that the sale exemplifies the company’s adeptness in acquiring and enhancing retail properties in prime markets. The Shoppes at Jupiter stands out not only due to its diverse mix of national brands, dining options, and service providers but also as a vital component of Jupiter's thriving retail corridor. The successful transaction reflects Orion's commitment to maximizing property value while supporting the economic growth of the local community. The deal is facilitated by Noah Jones and Dan Lynch from Atlantic Retail, further highlighting the collaborative efforts that drive successful real estate transactions.
In addition to this successful sale, Orion Energy Systems continues to demonstrate its focus on strategic growth in the retail sector, adapting its portfolio to meet evolving market demands.
