Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Branch Properties have announced the $170 million recapitalization of a five-property, grocery-anchored retail portfolio located in four high-growth markets across the Southeast. The newly delivered portfolio totals 357,203 square feet and is anchored by Publix, the region’s dominant grocer and one of the strongest credit performers in U.S. retail.
