Miami, Florida: Today. CRE-Pro, LLC, (“the Company”) a national diversified private equity firm based in Miami, has announced that a subsidiary has acquired Pirates Plaza. The commercial property is a regional Power Center built-in 1996 that is anchored by creditworthy tenants Ulta Beauty and Five Below. The asset is in Genesee County, Michigan along Miller Road near Interstate-75 and Interstate-69. Miller Road is noted for being one of the best retail corridors in the state, with Pirates Plaza being flanked by top-tier retailers, such as Target, PetSmart, Best Buy, DSW, Burlington Coat Factory, and more. Additionally, there are three General Motors factories, a regional mall, and an international airport all within three miles of the property that serves an estimated population approaching 300,000 residents within ten miles. The official announcement was made by Gideon Gratsiani, a noted foreclosure and bankruptcy expert as well as CRE-Pro, LLC’s Founder and Executive Chairman. The asset was purchased through an auction and was bought for a double-digit Capitalization rate at an attractive cost basis.

“We are thrilled to announce this acquisition, which is the first investment with our new partner, a foreign pension-advised fund. This acquisition fits our strategy of buying assets at significant discounts to their intrinsic value, in good real estate markets, and well below their replacement cost,” said Mr. Gratsiani. “Expect to hear of more acquisitions soon.”

The business plan of purchasing properties at a discount due to a special situation, maturity default, partnership dissolution, and other non-conventional means fits into CRE-Pro’s opportunistic strategy to bring their investors creative investment opportunities that provide superior risk-adjusted returns. By purchasing Pirates Plaza, the Company expects to use this asset as a springboard to other strategic acquisitions and grow its presence in the region.
“The Pirates Plaza acquisition represents the culmination of many months of hard work by the multitude of parties that helped get this deal to the finish line. We would like to extend our appreciation to our investors and business partners for their assistance. I want to personally thank Evan Lyons with Encore Real Estate Investment Services for brokering the transaction and Brad Lefkowitz of Mid-America Real Estate Group for their fantastic property management and advisory. We are now looking forward to a successful debt execution that will allow us to return a sizable portion of invested capital to our partners within the first few months of ownership of Pirates Plaza,” said Nicholas Perrone, CRE-Pro, LLC’s Vice President of Investment.
Additionally, CRE-Pro, LLC announced another asset purchase in the region that occurred around the same time as the closing for Pirates Plaza. This second acquisition was an off-market transaction. The purchase consists of two single-tenant, net-leased investment-grade businesses operating in the suburbs of one of the largest cities in the state of Indiana.
