FORGE ANNOUNCES SALE OF NAPLES LAKE VILLAGES CENTER

Forge Real Estate Partners IV, LP, a joint venture between Forge Capital Partners and The Sembler Company, is pleased to announce the sale of Naples Lake Villages Center, a 59,863 square foot grocery anchored shopping center located in Naples, Florida.

Naples Lake Villages is anchored by a high-volume Publix Supermarket, with the remaining spaces leased to a diverse mix of service, restaurant and wellness uses. The property is strategically located within a high income and rapidly growing suburban trade area with significant natural barriers to entry. Over 3,600 new residential units are planned or under construction within 3 miles of the property. The Fund acquired Naples Lake Villages Center in April of 2019 and has since added value through capital improvements and tenant retention.

This property was sold to an affiliate of Carlyle Management out of New York.
