Northmarq brokered the sale of The Shoppes at Town Square, an 11,692-square-foot retail center in Deer Park, Houston, with financing arranged by Northmarq.

In a recent transaction, Northmarq successfully brokered the sale of The Shoppes at Town Square, a retail center located at 3811 Center Street in Deer Park, Houston. The property, spanning 11,692 square feet, was sold by a Florida-based seller to a local 1031 exchange investor.

With its prime location and strong tenant mix, the property has been a sought-after investment opportunity for both local and out-of-state investors.

The buyer, a local 1031 exchange investor, was attracted to the property due to its potential for long-term growth and stable cash flow. The investor, utilizing a 1031 exchange, was able to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds from the sale of a previous property into The Shoppes at Town Square.

Peters and Michael Borden, mortgage brokers at Northmarq, worked closely with the buyer to secure the necessary funding for the acquisition. Their extensive knowledge of the local market and strong relationships with lenders allowed them to negotiate favorable terms for the buyer.
