ZRP purchased the shopping center back in 2020. Two years later, the property became subject to an $8.6 million loan provided by Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union, CommercialEdge data shows.

Back in April, ZRP entered the Arizona retail market with the purchase of Mercado at Scottsdale Ranch, a 118,751-square-foot shopping center in Scottsdale, Ariz., for $26.5 million.

Castle Hills Market came online in 1986 on some 6.7 acres. Since its purchase four years ago, the previous owner has enhanced the center through physical property improvements, leasing strategies and tenant upgrades.

The tenant roster includes a diverse mix of retailers such as Bygones, Rainbow Language Academy, Allstate Insurance, Coke Management Group, Azro, Ballet San Antonio and Beast Fitness, among others.

Located at 2211 NW Military Highway, the property is in the heart of North Central San Antonio in the Castle Hills neighborhood and has access to interstates 10 and 410. The retail center is positioned near residential neighborhoods and the San Antonio International Airport.

The JLL team of Senior Director John Indelli, Director Whitney Snell and Senior Managing Directors Chris Gerard and Ryan West brokered the deal.
