Bridge33 Capital has purchased Shops at CenterPoint, a 444,709-square-foot shopping center in Grand Rapids, Mich. The joint venture between DRA Advisors and Pine Tree sold the asset for $70 million, as reported by Crain’s Grand Rapids Business. Mid-America Real Estate Corp. represented the seller.
DRA and Pine Tree had acquired the property from an Apollo Global Management fund and Stonemar for $63.5 million in 2022, as reported by Commercial Real Estate Direct.
Originally completed in 1967 as Eastbrook Mall—an enclosed shopping center—the property underwent significant transformation in 2012 and 2013. During that interval, a portion of the mall was demolished to transform it into an outdoor shopping destination.
