NAPLES — A privately-run group of investors based in Texas purchased The Collection at Vanderbilt, a 226,000-square-foot shopping complex in Naples, from Boca Raton-based Woolbright Development for an undisclosed price.
Prior to its acquisition by the Texas-based group, the lenders on the property obtained a $53.8 million foreclosure judgment on the shopping center.
The shopping center was built in 2009 at the northwest corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Airport Pulling Road. The complex is 30% leased, according to a statement prepared by mall representatives.
In addition to buying the Vanderbilt shopping center, the Texas-based investment group also acquired two other adjacent parcels of land, for a total land buy of 29.6 acres. The purchase represents the partnership's seventh land acquisition in Florida over the course of its 25-year history in real estate investing.
