Retail asset on the San Antonio River Walk trades to Fifth Corner

JLL Capital Markets has closed the sale of South Bank, a 46,704-square-foot, high-performing retail asset located on the world-renowned San Antonio River Walk, the top tourism attraction in Texas.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, and Fifth Corner acquired the asset. Fifth Corner’s predecessor, AMREIT, formerly owned this property from 2005 to 2015.

This trade is significant as only one River Walk retail asset transaction has occurred over the last five years, and only six individual retail assets have traded since 2005.

Featuring a strong mix of food and beverage and local and national retailers, the property caters to the over 11 million visitors to the River Walk annually.  South Bank generates total commerce of over $22 million, the center is 100% occupied and boasts an average tenant tenure of 20.1 years. Original tenants include Hard Rock Café, The County Line Bar-B-Q, Paesanos, Cowboy’s Alamo City Harley-Davidson, Ben & Jerry’s and Howl at the Moon. Recent additions include Merkaba, a live-music sister concept to Howl at the Moon, and Fat Tuesday, which has returned to its original South Bank location after 17 years.

Situated at 111 W Crockett St., South Bank is set within a highly coveted retail micro-market. The tenants have access to a San Antonio’s population of 2.6 million, as well as the approximately 37 million tourists that visit the city annually. Additionally, the location of the asset benefits from the 16,877 total hotel rooms within a five-mile radius. South Bank is also supported by incredibly strong fundamentals driven by high retailer demand and development restrictions established by the RIO-3 zoning that was implemented in 2002 to protect, preserve and enhance the San Antonio River.

The JLL Retail Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Chris Gerard, Ryan West and Barry Brown and Associate Erin Lazarus and Megan Babovec.

Newmark Announces Sale of 156-Unit Luxury Multifamily Asset in Austin, Texas

Austin, TX (November 30, 2022) — Newmark announces the sale of Radius on Grove, a 156-unit multifamily asset located at 2301 Grove Boulevard in Austin, Texas, four miles from downtown. Newmark Vice Chairman Patton Jones and Managing Director Andrew Dickson represented the seller, Hilltop Residential, a national real estate investment company focused on acquiring and renovating underperforming multifamily properties, in the sale to the buyer, Square House Capital LLC. The property sold for an undisclosed price.

“Radius on Grove has a prime location, with outstanding fundamentals,” said Jones. “Over the past 12 months, Austin has continued to be one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas, making the multifamily asset a suitable entry-investment into the region for Square House Capital LLC, which specializes in acquiring and operating multifamily properties in high growth markets.”

“Radius on Grove is a premier asset with tremendous upside that fits our growth strategy to improve the quality of our investment portfolio and the communities we serve,” said Square House Capital LLC Founder Kindi Mann. “We were attracted to the community’s location within the Southeast Austin/Riverside submarket because of the area’s rapid growth and proximity to major employment and entertainment. This is our first investment in Austin, a city that continues to exhibit proven fundamentals—a strong job market, population growth and robust rent growth.”

Acquired by Hilltop Residential in 2018, Radius on Grove boasts contemporary renovations, resort-class amenities and condo-grade finishes. With a 98% occupancy rate at time of sale, the asset is located within minutes of major employers—Oracle headquarters, Tesla, Google and others—and is adjacent to outdoor recreation, the city’s major entertainment districts and numerous restaurants.

Ranked in the top five “Best City to Live in the U.S.” by U.S. World & News Report in April 2021, Austin has seen mass in-migration over the past five years with employment growth averaging an increase of 3.3 percent per year and thousands of jobs expected in the pipeline. Additionally, over the past 12 months in the Central Business District, submarket rental rates grew by 22.3 percent in the first quarter of 2022, according to Austin Investor Interests.
