Release Details

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Macerich (NYSE: MAC), one of the nation's leading owners, operators and developers of one-of-a-kind retail and mixed-use properties in top markets, today announced it has sold La Encantada, a retail asset in Tucson, AZ, generating ~$100 million of incremental liquidity. The open-air, 246,000 square-foot specialty center sold for $165.3 million on September 17, 2021.

This transaction builds on the March 2021 sale of 95% of Paradise Valley Mall, a non-core asset in Phoenix, which yielded net proceeds for Macerich of approximately $95 million. The strategy of selling non-core assets has generated over $200 million of liquidity through the first nine months of 2021.

"In addition to sales of these properties, we are successfully executing on a robust land and pad sale program, from which we expect to generate an additional $100 million during 2021-2023," said Ed Coppola, President, Macerich. "Our focused disposition efforts are designed to allow us to recycle capital into key densification and diversification activities, as we continue to realize our town center strategy at a number of Macerich properties across the country."
