During the first quarter of the year, the firm sold a 14,500-square-foot development containing a Walgreens in Seattle; a 34,300-square-foot shopping center in Evansville; and a 115,100-square-foot grocery-anchored center in Oak Ridge, N.J.
The properties were considered non-core assets, according to Kite.
“We will continue to prudently … transition out of locations that do not fit our investment profile,” said CEO John Kite. “Demand for quality assets, whether defined as core or non-core by us, remains strong allowing us to take advantage of market conditions to meet strategic objectives.”
Kite shares dropped 2 cents in trading on Tuesday to $5.88.
In February, Kite announced that it was buying privately held Diversified Real Estate Trust Inc. for $1.2 billion in an all-stock deal. The combined company is expected to have a market value of more than $2 billion.
