OAK BROOK, Ill., Aug 09, 2010– Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. announced today the $20 million purchase of two grocery-anchored shopping centers in Florida on behalf of Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. The 66,510-square-foot Lake City Commons, located in Lake City, Fla., was acquired for $10.6 million. The 78,820-square-foot Publix Shopping Center in St. Cloud, Fla. was purchased for $9.4 million. Both properties are anchored by Publix Super Markets, Inc., Florida’s premier grocery retailer. The purchases were facilitated by Mark Cosenza, vice president of IREA.

“As the dominant supermarket chain operating in Florida, Publix has proven to be a very strong anchor for these centers, both of which are 100 percent leased,” Cosenza said. “Both of the grocery stores enjoy outstanding sales volume, attracting strong foot traffic to their supporting line-ups of retailers and restaurants.”

These centers mark the fourth and fifth properties in Inland Diversified’s Florida portfolio. Previously, the company acquired Publix-anchored centers located in Kissimmee and Port St. Lucie, and now owns and manages nearly 700,000 square feet in the state.

“Grocery-anchored centers located in what we believe to be the nation’s strongest markets continue to be an important focus as we build a portfolio of diversified real estate assets,” commented Barry Lazarus, president and chief operating officer of Inland Diversified. “We believe that Florida’s overall pro-business structure, the lack of a state income tax and a Sunbelt climate with a marked appeal to those looking to relocate combine to give the state strong growth potential in the longer term.”
