The transaction\u2019s dollar value was not disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seller was a partnership led by Barshop &amp; Oles Co., a privately owned, Austin-based development and management firm that specializes in grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bar W Marketplace is at 19348 Ronald Reagan Blvd., at the southeast corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and SH-29 in Williamson County. The location reportedly benefits from easy access to major thoroughfares and proximity to multiple residential communities and ongoing developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/how-dining-trends-are-reshaping-shopping-centers\/\">How Dining Trends Are Reshaping Shopping Centers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/shopping-changed-dramatically-retail-design-is-one-step-ahead\/\">retail center<\/a> was built between 2022 and 2024 and is fully leased. It features five ground-leased pads and a mix of tenants that includes Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, Whataburger, Chili\u2019s, Torchy\u2019s Tacos and 7Brew Coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JLL Capital Markets Investment and Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Barry Brown and Chris Gerard and Director Erin Lazarus.

The latter is a nationwide franchiser of pickleball clubs that currently has about 10 locations in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partners Real Estate reports that both new deliveries and the development pipeline are slowing down, causing predictions of modest rent increases from tightening supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few weeks ago, Partners Capital sold San Marcos Place, a 73,105-square-foot retail center in San Marcos, Texas, midway between Austin and San Antonio, to an undisclosed local buyer.
