Further, Publix now becomes our sixth largest tenant.”
CTO Realty Growth, which manages and owns premium open-air shopping centers situated in the rapidly growing Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States, has completed $330.7 million of investments at a weighted average yield of 9.3% so far in the year.
