Historic Acquisition of Grocery-Anchored Centers
Blackstone's acquisition of the ROIC portfolio for $4 billion highlights the current activity in commercial real estate, particularly in grocery-anchored shopping centers. This portfolio consists of 93 retail properties, demonstrating Blackstone's confidence in the value of necessity-based retail assets in densely populated areas.
