Ram Realty Advisors has acquired a 600,000-square-foot portfolio of seven grocery-anchored shopping centers across the Southeast United States.
The effort is led by Brian Maloney, who rejoined Ram as a principal in December 2024 after serving as vice president of real estate for Whole Foods Market.
The $200 million investment included a combination of acquisitions and partnership contributions.
“This investment reinforces our strategic focus on essential retail in high-demand Southeast markets,” said Brian Maloney, principal at Ram. “We believe grocery-anchored retail continues to benefit from attractive sector fundamentals driven by strong tenant demand and limited new supply.”
The assets are in high-barrier-to-entry submarkets with strong demographics, anchored by top-performing grocers including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, The Fresh Market, and Harris Teeter. The immediate trade areas have household incomes averaging $131,000,
