The portfolio includes eight properties holding 194 tenants, with anchor tenants that include brand names such as Publix, Kroger and Whole Foods. The properties are in Bradenton, Sarasota, Melbourne and Palm Coast, Fla.; Atlanta and Gainesville, Ga.; Lexington, Ky.;  and Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn., according to CBRE.

The portfolio is 96.6 percent leased, according to CBRE.
