This exceptional investment opportunity features a 159,878 square foot JCPenney store located within Christiana Mall in Newark, Delaware. The property sits on an 11.83-acre parcel and benefits from a 20-year absolute NNN lease with 16 years remaining, commencing December 7, 2020, and expiring November 30, 2040. The lease includes five, 5-year renewal options and features a 2% annual rent increase. The tenant, JCPenney, is backed by a corporate guarantee.

The mall underwent a significant renovation and expansion in 2017, adding over 600,000 square feet of retail space.

Its proximity to ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital, Wilmington Airport, and the University of Delaware further enhances its desirability.

The tenant's current rent is significantly below market rates, presenting a substantial mark-to-market opportunity. The guarantor entities maintain a $925 million tangible net worth and 12 months of liquidity.
