Investors Grab Prized Phoenix Retail

Retail's bifurcated these days, and investors are eager to find properties on the winning side of that divide—such as the 190k SF The Summit at Scottsdale, which traded recently for more than $54M.

Ryan's snapped with colleague Michael Hackett; the two, along with Dan Wald of the San Francisco office, brokered the all-cash sale.

Developed in 2001 by Donahue Schriber, The Summit at Scottsdale is built on 26-plus acres. In addition to Target (not a part of sale) and Safeway, the community center’s tenants include CVS, Office Max, PetSmart, Starbuck’s, Bath & Body Works, Verizon Wireless and Chico’s, among others.
