ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., June 5, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has completed the $31.5 million sale of The Shops at Parkway Plaza, a grocery-anchored retail center totaling 122,484 square feet in El Cajon, California.
JLL represented the private seller in the sale of the property. The buyer was a family office based in Texas.
The Shops at Parkway Plaza is located at 149 Fletcher Pkwy, adjacent to Parkway Plaza Mall, a regional shopping destination in East County San Diego. The property benefits from a dense population base of more than 169,000 residents within three miles, daily foot traffic generated by the adjacent mall and excellent visibility and access from Interstate 8 and the San Vicente Freeway with over 260,000 vehicles per day combined.
The Shops at Parkway Plaza is a grocery-anchored daily needs center with an investment-grade national tenant roster, including Best Buy, HomeGoods, Aldi, Texas Roadhouse and Applebee’s. The property boasts strong sales performance and benefits from the close proximity to the greater Parkway Plaza Mall.
JLL Capital Market’s Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Daniel Tyner and Senior Managing Directors Geoff Tranchina and Gleb Lvovich.
“Grocery-anchored neighborhood retail continues to perform extremely well and demand strong activity across multiple investor profiles. Parkway Plaza offered investors a great opportunity to acquire a well performing daily needs center with NOI growth potential,” said Tyner.
"Parkway Plaza represents our second recent successful sale of a shopping center outparcel to a regional mall, demonstrating our expertise in navigating the complex structuring required for these transactions,” added Lvovich. “The property generated significant investor interest across multiple capital sources, driven by strong mark-to-market upside from in-line space and excellent anchor tenant sales. These outparcel assets continue to offer a unique value proposition in today's market.”
