Kimco Realty acquires two Louisville grocery‑anchored shopping centers for $295 million

Kimco Realty announced the purchase of Paddock Shops and Shelbyville Road Plaza in Louisville for $295 million. The two centers total 741,000 sq ft and are 94% and 92% leased, respectively. The acquisition was funded primarily with 1031 exchange proceeds and was bought at a 6% blended cap rate. Kimco expects to grow the properties’ net operating income about 4% per year over the next decade.

Kimco says the deal expands its presence in a high‑traffic, supply‑constrained market and should lift its NOI by roughly 4% annually, according to the company’s press release. The self‑funded, leverage‑neutral structure means the acquisition does not increase the REIT’s debt load.
