JLL has closed the sale of three regional retail centers in Maryland on behalf of Washington REIT. DLC Management Corp. and Acadia Realty Trust acquired two of the properties in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Frederick, and Continental Realty Corp. assumed ownership of the third asset, a 2000-built power center in Hagerstown.

The Frederick portfolio includes the 294,718-square-foot Frederick Crossing and the 227,382-square-foot Frederick County Square. Kohl’s, Best Buy, Ross Dress for Less and Dollar Tree are among the tenants of the first asset, which is near a 60,000-square-foot office park in a trade area with more than 110,000 residents within a 5-mile radius. Walmart shadow anchors the property.
