CenterSquare Acquires South Florida-Based Essential Service Retail Property Baron Shoppes

October 2025

October 1, 2025 – We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Baron Shoppes, an Essential Service Retail (ESR) center located in Stuart, FL – part of the South Florida gateway market. The Property sits in the heart of Stuart’s primary retail node along US-1, with prominent frontage to over 50,000 vehicles per day. The deal was purchased significantly below replacement cost in a region of the country that presents substantial barriers to entry and excellent retail fundamentals.

Baron Shoppes features modern, high-quality 2018 construction and is home to resilient, service-oriented tenants such as Firehouse Subs, Carmela Coffee, and Jupiter Medical.

This investment aligns with our strategy to target unanchored, high-quality Essential Service Retail centers in strong demographic submarkets. This acquisition marks CenterSquare’s 8th investment in Florida and 62nd nationally, further expanding our footprint in high-growth, service-driven retail assets.
