LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2025 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the $30.5 million sale of Pavilion Shopping Center, a 137,742-square-foot grocery-anchored retail property strategically positioned in Vista's premier retail corridor along State Route 78.
JLL represented the seller, Brixton Capital, in the transaction. Milan Capital Management acquired the fully renovated shopping center. Working on behalf of the new owner, JLL also sourced $19.525 million in acquisition financing.
Located at 1900-98 Hacienda Dr., the open-air shopping center commands exceptional visibility and direct access from SR-78, which carries more than 154,000 vehicles daily. The property sits at the intersection of Hacienda Dr. and South Emerald Dr. within Vista's dominant retail node, surrounded by major retailers including Costco, Home Depot, TJ Maxx and Hobby Lobby within a one-mile radius.
The 95.3% leased property features a diverse tenant roster of internet-resistant retailers anchored by North Park Produce, a specialty grocer. Other notable tenants include Skechers, Dutch Bros Coffee, Daiso, Biolife Plasma Services and Dunn-Edwards Paints. A newly constructed Dutch Bros drive-through pad building was completed in February 2025, adding traffic to the center.
The shopping center spans 10.87 acres and recently underwent extensive capital improvements, including a completely renovated parking lot that was sealed and striped in March 2025.
Pavilion Shopping Center serves an affluent and growing trade area with more than 136,000 residents within three miles averaging household incomes exceeding $131,000. The five-mile demographic radius encompasses over 313,000 residents with average household incomes of $132,737. Additionally, the property benefits from proximity to major employment centers, including Tri-City Medical Center located 1.3 miles away, which serves more than 92,000 patients annually. The medical facility anchors a healthcare corridor that provides consistent daytime population and customer traffic to area retailers.
The JLL Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Directors Gleb Lvovich, Geoff Tranchina and Managing Director Daniel Tyner. The JLL Debt Advisory team, which secured the financing, was spearheaded by Senior Managing Directors Jeff Sause and John Chun and Associate Allie Black.
“We are extremely bullish on San Diego in general and North County in particular. The combination of limited supply and increasingly affluent demographics positions the region for strong outperformance,” Lvovich said.
Tyner added, “Grocery anchored retail continues to attract strong demand from investors, and North County San Diego has extremely high barriers to entry, further driving opportunity for growth at Pavilion Center.”
