JLL Capital Markets completes sale of New Orleans Whole Foods Plaza, a two-tenant center in Metairie, LA

JLL’s Capital Markets experts have completed the sale of New Orleans Whole Foods Plaza, a 58,283-square-foot community center located in the bustling New Orleans submarket of Metairie. Sarpy Development, a local developer, purchased the property.

Managing Director Margaret Caldwell and Vice President Margaret Jones led the team handling the sale on behalf of the seller, a Dallas-based family office.

“As the only Whole Foods in Metairie and the only Jared in the New Orleans MSA, this center enjoys an extended trade area serving a loyal customer base,” said Caldwell. “Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods has made the store stronger and more formidable.”

Developed in 2004, New Orleans Whole Foods Plaza consists of two retail buildings on just over 4 acres. The center was 100% percent leased at the time of the sale, anchored by tenants Whole Foods and Jared the Galleria of Jewelry.
