Pine Tree buys sponsor interest in $644 million, 10‑property shopping‑center portfolio from SITE Centers

Pine Tree announced it has purchased the sponsor interest in a portfolio of ten open‑air shopping centers that was recently valued at $644 million. The assets, covering roughly 3.5 million square feet and located in nine states within the top 50 U.S. markets, were acquired from SITE Centers together with a large international investor. The transaction pushes Pine Tree’s acquisition total for the past twelve months above $1 billion and lifts its assets under management to more than $4 billion. CEO Peter Borzak said the deal is the largest single transaction in Pine Tree’s 31‑year history.

The purchase expands Pine Tree’s footprint in high‑traffic grocery‑anchored centers, potentially increasing its rental income and portfolio value. Investors in Pine Tree will see a larger AUM base and a higher exposure to prime retail locations, which could affect the company’s future cash flow and valuation.
