Westport Family Sells Village Center for $54 Million

(AP) Kowalsky family sells 90,000 square foot retail asset on Post Road East to real estate investment trust.

The Village Center, a 90,000 square foot neighborhood retail center situated on approximately 7.55 acres along Post Road East in Westport, sold for $54.25 million last week.

The Kowalsky’s of Westport sold the family-owned retail property to Equity One, Inc. (NYSE: EQY). The family broke ground on the site in 1969, since then the four-building retail complex has become a prime shopping destination and is currently anchored by The Fresh Market, Dunkin Donuts, Little Gym, The UPS Store, KOKO Fit Club and SweetFrog.

“There is a high demand for irreplaceable properties such as this since the current zoning codes prevent new construction exceeding 10,000 SF in any one building,” said Jon Angel, President of Angel Commercial L.L.C., a Southport based commercial real estate brokerage firm. “Furthermore, there is a strong and competitive audience to acquire cash flowing assets in proven retail markets. The demographic profile of the area created the opportunity to produce a reliable income with long term growth.”

The acquisition of The Village Center by Equity One, Inc. compliments their existing Westport assets and adds to their $1 billion Northeast portfolio, which includes five retail centers located within Fairfield County, according to Angel.

“Open House Bandits” Strike Again

The “Open House Bandits” have recently struck a home in the Guilford area stealing jewelry during a showing. A woman accompanied by a younger woman purporting to be a mother and daughter arranged for a “showing”. The cover
story was that the mother and daughter were moving from Long Island and looking for a house to buy. The “mother” gave a cell phone number that turned out to be false. During the “showing”, the “daughter” distracted the agent by
requesting to see another portion of the house. While the agent was in the other part of the house, the “mother” apparently tossed dressers and desks for valuables. The “mother” is a woman in her late thirties or early forties with
light brown hair. The “daughter” is thin and in her early 20’s. They drive a white, Ford Focus or similar vehicle. They appear to target homes listed for $500,000 and up. If you are contacted by persons fitting this description, try
and obtain a license plate number or other identifying information, and contact your local police department. For further information, email CAR’s General Counsel Eugene A. Marconi at marconie@ctrealtor.com or call (860) 290-6601
