Goedecke Principal Timothy Breda and Vice President Katie Lombardo worked exclusively on behalf of the buyer to secure a long term, fixed rate, non-recourse loan from John Hancock Life Insurance, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Borrower is a single purpose entity affiliated with KPR Centers. KPR (fka Katz Properties) is a full service real estate company that invests throughout the East Coast from Maine to Florida, with a focus on high quality grocery anchored centers in primary and secondary markets.

Said Breda, “Sunshine Plaza was purchased by an affiliate of KPR Centers in 2014 with a specific business plan, seeking upside valuation by taking advantage of strengthening market characteristics. KPR executed on their business plan and raised NOI significantly
and therefore value. KPR feels that this is a strong relative value investment given the high
traffic and advantageous demographics which have resulted in high historical occupancy

reaped the benefits of its effort and expertise creating value for its investors and we are happy to have assisted.”
