Dan Katz founded Katz Properties when he was 24 years old, and today, it operates under the name KPR. The company primarily owns grocery anchored shopping centers in high density Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast markets. Its initial significant growth occurred after the great recession. Dan explains how he managed to seize opportunities during those challenging economic times.

A partnership between a real estate fund managed by New York City-based DRA Advisors, LLC and KPR Centers has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 35 grocery-anchored shopping centers, comprising more than 4.9 million square feet of space, from Cedar Realty Trust for $879 million. The centers are situated in nine states throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the country. The partnership disposed of 16 of those shopping centers, totaling more than 1.5 million square feet of space, to three separate entities simultaneously at closing. The remaining 19 shopping centers, comprising more than 3.4 million square feet of space and cumulatively 93% leased, will be owned and managed by the two real estate companies focused on value-add investments. Chris Angelone of JLL represented the seller in this transaction.

Finmarc Management, Inc., a commercial real estate investment and management firm headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, together with KPR Centers, a real estate investment and operating firm based in New York City, have completed the acquisition of Providence Town Center, a 760,000 square foot retail center located northwest of Philadelphia in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. The purchase price was $161.75 million. Located at 100 Town Center, the asset was 92% leased at the time of the sale and features 11 anchor tenants led by Wegmans Food Markets, and approximately 70 tenants in total.

A joint venture between PCCP, LLC and KPR Centers has acquired Schaumburg Corners, a 100% leased 160,301-square-foot shopping center located at 16-66 E Golf Rd. in the northwestern Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, IL. The seller was Kensington Development Partners. Deal terms weren’t disclosed.
