Venture Investment Partners sold the nearly 54K SF Preston Stonebrook retail center at 7151-7227 Preston Road to an undisclosed party in a deal arranged by JLL.

Built in 1997, the 93%-leased center counts more than 24K SF of recent leasing activity and tenants averaging over 10 years of tenure, according to a press release.

“With rents currently below market and strong demographics in the trade area, this asset offers significant upside potential for the new ownership,” JLL Senior Managing Director Adam Howells said in a statement.

The property serves an affluent customer base, with average household incomes of more than $158K within a 3-mile radius and a population of nearly 99,000 residents.

JLL’s team representing the seller was led by Howells and Erin Lazarus.
