FORT WORTH—Built in 2005 adjacent to Hulen Mall, 5000 South Hulen is an 86,943-square-foot open-air community shopping center in west Fort Worth. With an average daily traffic count of 42,200, the property sits in one of Fort Worth's sought-after retail trade corridors.

A joint venture between Trademark Property Company and ALTO Real Estate Funds recently acquired 5000 South Hulen for an undisclosed price. The retail destination is 95% occupied by a mix of national and regional retailers, including anchors Barnes & Noble and Old Navy, as well as a number of community service retailers such as Potbelly Sandwich, Jamba Juice, Sprint, America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses and Ideal Image.

“5000 South Hulen is an ideal fit within our acquisition strategy,” said Tommy Miller, CIO, Trademark Property Company. “It is a best-in-class property, with a strong tenant mix, located within one of the most established and recognized retail nodes in Fort Worth. After all, it's all about location, location, location.”

The acquisition of 5000 South Hulen is the first joint venture between ALTO Fund III and Trademark Property Company. Both Trademark and ALTO are discriminating buyers of community and power centers at strong locations with high-performing tenants that do not require grocery anchors.

“5000 South Hulen is one of the top properties in Southwest Fort Worth at a very strong intersection,” Miller tells GlobeSt.com. “This is great long-term cash-flowing real estate that fits our community center investment strategy perfectly.”

In its 25-plus years of business, Fort Worth-based Trademark has invested in or developed more than 11.8 million square feet of retail and mixed-use assets worth more than $2.5 billion.
