The assets include Walmart and Home Depot-anchored EastLake Terraces in Chula Vista and the massive power center Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond-anchored Pacific Coast Plaza, totaling 312k SF.

"All nine of these retail properties are positioned in strong locations within their submarkets and feature historically high occupancy with either strong anchor tenants or shadow-anchors that drive consumer traffic to the centers,” says Citivest CEO Larry Weese. Other properties include Town Center North in Oceanside; Palm Promenade on Dennery Road in San Diego; Stonecrest Plaza on Murphy Canyon Road; East County Square at 13465 Camino Canada in El Cajon; Eastlake Village Center East in Chula Vista; and Southbay Marketplace on North Broadway in Chula Vista.
