Starwood Buys Blue Back Square in CT for $106.3M

Starwood Capital Group and affiliate Starwood Retail Partners announced this week that they had purchased a large mixed-use center from a developer joint venture for $106.3 million. Developers Ronus Properties, Street-Works and JDA Development sold the 450,000 square-foot property, dubbed Blue Black Square, after originally delivering the complex in 2008 for $158.8 million.

"Blue Back Square is a fundamentally strong, infill asset in an attractive market with limited new supply that generates strong cash-on-cash returns and presents an excellent opportunity for Starwood and its investors," said Ethan Bing, vice president at Starwood Capital Group.

According to Starwood, the property was 96% leased at the time of sale, with major tenants including REI, Crate & Barrel, The Cheesecake Factory Inc. and Barnes & Noble. The live-work-play complex also includes condos and apartment rentals, medical space that houses the Hartford Hospital, and office space that is taken up by professional services and law firms.
