First National Realty Partners Acquires Illinois Retail Center

Oswego, IL (May 21, 2024) — First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a leading national private equity firm specializing in commercial real estate, closed on Townes Crossing, a 105,731-square-foot shopping center located in affluent Oswego, Illinois. This off-market acquisition solidifies FNRP’s presence in Illinois and exemplifies its expertise in sourcing exclusive opportunities through leveraging its relationships. 

Townes Crossing is anchored by a 65,000-square-foot Jewel-Osco grocery store, a subsidiary of Albertsons. A tenant at the center for over 30 years, it is the top grocer by market share in the Chicago MSA, according to Axios Chicago. Jewel-Osco is joined by daily-needs retailers including Phenix Salon Suites, Oswego Dental, The UPS Store, and Subway. 

“Townes Crossing is a testament to strong competitive positioning, with tenants boasting a weighted average tenure at the property exceeding 25 years,” said Matt Annibale, vice president of acquisitions. “The center is situated in a neighborhood trade area, and we believe is poised to benefit from continued migration to Kendall County.” 

Located 45 miles west of downtown Chicago at the intersection of Douglas Road and US-30, the center sees over 54,000 vehicles per day. Within a 5-mile radius, the population exceeds 220,000 people with average household incomes of over $124,000.  

“Townes Crossing marks our fourth off-market acquisition in 2024. This off-market activity is a testament to FNRP’s platform as our team continues to be one of the most active acquirers of grocery-anchored retail in the country,” commented Mike Hazinski, chief investment officer. 

Evan Halkias of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller in this transaction.
