Woolbright bought the River Run Center from P. OB Montgomery of Dallas for $10.5 million, or approximately $105 per sf. The center was bought at around an 8.5% capitalization rate, "which is what Publixes are selling at right now, so it's within the market [value]," Soraya Tyriver, a director with Woolbright Development, tells GlobeSt.com.

Woolbright then turned around and sold the center to Inland Real Estate on the same day for more than what it paid for it.
