The center is anchored by the ShopRite supermarket, which is operated by Browns Super Stores, Inc. Besides a high quality tenant lineup, Penrose Plaza also offers its customers generous parking space in an urban setting.<\/p>\n<p>The property\u2019s owners are now planning to expand and remodel the food market, as well as re-tenant the currently vacant 95,000-square-foot former K Mart store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to its high visibility, there is also limited retail competition, helping to ensure the ongoing success of the tenants and thus contributing to the center\u2019s ongoing occupancy levels. All of this made this property an exciting investment opportunity,\u201d commented McClernon, senior vice president with CBRE\u2019s Investment Properties division.<\/p>\n<p>The property\u2019s retail competition is limited due to land constraints created by the U.S. Postal Service Processing and Distribution Center, Philadelphia International Airport runway clearances, The John Heinz National Wildlife Preserve, Interstate 95, and the Delaware River.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credits: Abrams Realty &amp; Development<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent sale of Penrose Plaza Shopping Center in Southwest Philadelphia marks one of the region&rsquo;s most significant retail transactions this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":260,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742,1494],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004125237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-philadelphia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
