FORGE ANNOUNCES SALE OF SHANNON CROSSING SHOPPING CENTER

Forge Real Estate Partners III, LP (the “Fund”), a joint venture between Forge Capital Partners and The Sembler Company, is pleased to announce the sale of Shannon Crossing, a 101,174 square foot shopping center located in Union City, Georgia.

Shannon Crossing is a Kroger anchored shopping center located adjacent to I-85 just 7.5 miles south of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Built in 1981, this center has provided essential grocery, restaurant, and service-based offerings to nearby consumers for nearly forty years. This neighborhood shopping center is well positioned to continue benefiting from the South Atlanta industrial corridor’s explosive growth.
