“Owning neighborhood shopping centers like Central Plaza and Galleria Village fit our core income strategy well,” David Puchi, Baceline’s managing partner said in a statement. “Since both are highly visible in densely populated regions, they provide everyday goods or services to vibrant communities. Simultaneously, they produce reliable income and present a significant opportunity for growth.”
