Pearlridge Shopping Center in Hawaii is up for sale

The Pearlridge shopping center and mall is the second largest shopping center in the State of Hawaii.  This property has a great tenant mix and is well suited for the trade area it serves.  Over the years, the owners and management have done a very good job of juggling tenants and providing an environment where tenants can thrive.  The sales per square foot of the center are very high for similar and comparable centers.  The mall is anchored by Macy’s, Sears, and a new Bed, Bath & Beyond store (the first one in Hawaii), as well as numerous restaurants.

This shopping center will sell in today’s market.  It is located on a ground lease that will deter some investors in the marketplace because of the potential uncertainties of the long-term land tenure.

The past success of the center, the current tenant mix, and the strong, stable performance will attract a new owner to this property.

It is likely that that owner will reinvest in the property, as its last major renovation was over a decade ago.

With the lack of capital in the marketplace we expect that the buyer will demand a high rate of return and feel that at this low point in the market it will be rewarded handsomely.
