FORGE ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF DANIELS CROSSING

Forge Real Estate Partners IV, LP, a joint venture between Forge Capital Partners and The Sembler Company, has acquired Daniels Crossing Shopping Center, a 112,003 square foot Publix-anchored neighborhood shopping center in Fort Myers, Florida.

Daniels Crossing is anchored by a high-volume Publix supermarket that has operated at the property since 1990 and established itself as a staple within the community. The property is located at the major intersection of Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress Parkway where daily traffic counts exceed 90,000 vehicles per day. Nearby demand drivers include the Gulf Coast Medical Center, Century Link Sports Complex, 18 office buildings and 16 golf and country clubs. This property presents a unique opportunity for the Fund Manager to add significant value through the lease up of over 30,000 square feet of vacant space in a high growth trade area.
