PHOENIX, Nov. 5, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the $108.7 million sale of Arizona Grocery Portfolio, a seven-property, 422,949-square-foot grocery-anchored retail portfolio located across Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona.

JLL represented the seller, A&C Properties Inc., in the transaction. 11North Partners acquired the asset. Working on behalf of the new owner, JLL also arranged $66.36 million in acquisition financing through a leading insurance company.

The portfolio features strategic positioning along high-traffic corridors throughout multiple submarkets in both metropolitan areas. The seven properties benefit from limited retail supply in their surrounding trade areas and feature below-market rents that provide significant value-creation opportunities. Currently operating at 96% occupancy, the portfolio is anchored by Fry’s Food & Drug (NYSE:KR) and features a diverse tenant mix that includes daily needs and necessity-based retailers serving each respective community.

The properties deliver strong cash flow through their grocery-anchored format while offering investors mark-to-market opportunities through tenant curation and lease renewals. The Phoenix and Tucson markets continue to attract retail investment capital due to population growth, favorable business climates and strong consumer spending patterns. This acquisition represents 11North Partners’ inaugural investment in Arizona and expands the buyer’s necessity-based retail platform into its eighth state.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Managing Director Patrick Dempsey, Director Tess Berghoff and Analyst Ross Jorgensen. The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Director Jarrod Howard.

“A&C Properties Inc. assembled a high-quality grocery-anchored portfolio positioned in submarkets with limited retail supply and strong traffic patterns,” Dempsey said. “11North Partners recognized the long-term value in these well-located assets and the opportunity to enhance returns through thoughtful leasing strategies and mark-to-market adjustments.”
