We are pleased to announce the successful closing of Empire Crossing, a premier power center located in the heart of Bloomington, Illinois.
Empire Crossing presents a compelling value-add opportunity anchored by the number one most trafficked HomeGoods store in Illinois, complemented by a strong national tenant lineup and an 86% occupancy rate with meaningful upside through inline lease-up and accretive outparcel spin opportunities.
Bloomington's dynamic market - home to State Farm's corporate headquarters, Rivian's EV manufacturing plant, and Illinois State University - continues to attract strong demand, supported by an impressive 4.39% five-year population growth rate.
"Empire Crossing is exactly the type of opportunity we look for, a dominant retail center in a thriving market with multiple levers to drive value. We couldn't be more excited about what's ahead for this asset."

We look forward to unlocking the full potential of this exceptional property. Stay tuned for updates as we execute on our vision for Empire Crossing.
