• Sherman Town Center in Sherman, near Dallas
The average occupancy for the portfolio is higher than 90 percent. Tenants include Kohl's, Kroger, Lowe's, Sports Authority, 24 Hour Fitness, Best Buy, Cinemark and Dollar Tree.
NewQuest still owns $1.1 billion in commercial real estate assets.
Inland American is affiliated with Oak Brook, Ill.-based Inland Real Estate Corp., which has multiple entities that use the Inland name. The recent acquisitions from NewQuest were transacted by Inland Real Estate Acquisition, the purchasing arm of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies Inc.
