Chicago-based LaSalle Investment Management has bought Mission’s major shopping centre for $68.05 million from RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust and Kimco Realty Corp.

The Junction is a 282,533-square-foot, class-A shopping centre near the intersection of Highways 11 and 7 in the Fraser Valley and is 96 per cent occupied. It’s anchored by a Save-On-Foods grocery store and also includes London Drugs, SilverCity Mission Cinemas, and Staples among other retailers.

“The Junction presented a unique opportunity for us to acquire a prominent, physically attractive and well-anchored retail asset within a fast-growing community,” said LaSalle senior vice-president Edmund Lee. “It is evident that the centre has untapped potential.”

LaSalle acquired the shopping centre on behalf of LaSalle’s flagship Canadian Income Growth Fund IV.
