PHILADELPHIA (July 19, 2007) – AMC Delancey Group, Inc., a leading
national real estate investment and development firm, today announced that
it has completed the sale of its Gettysburg Village Factory Stores to
Horizon Group Properties, Inc. for $61.05 million. With the sale, AMC
Delancey has nearly concluded its corporate strategy shift from
owner/operator to provider of equity capital and resources to strategic
operating partners.
The company’s transformation will be complete with the sale of the Cast
Iron Building in Philadelphia, which is being marketed by Corvest Realty
Group, and the sale of Quality Center Shopping Center in Lancaster, Pa.,
which is being marketed by Richard Frolick of the Oak Brook, Ill., office of
CB Richard Ellis. These properties represent AMC Delancey’s last two major
legacy assets.
Gettysburg Village has a history nearly as rich as that of the historic
town that it calls home. The late Greg Boyle, founder and president of The
Boyle Group, conceived the project in the mid 1990s, and in 1998 partnered
with the then-Delancey Investment Group, Inc. to develop the project. In the
late 1990s, Mt. Joy Township, the Pennsylvania Historical Society and the
town of Gettysburg all shared some skepticism and concern over what would be
developed adjacent to this historic battlefield, named one of the “Top 10
Epic Sites” by Conde Nast Traveler. Planning and negotiations around
development conditions spanned a period of nearly five years. The extensive
planning, affectionately referred to as the “Second Civil War” amongst
Delancey and Boyle Group staff, culminated with the grand opening of the
center in October of 2000. Since that time, the center, which features over
70 unique stores and restaurants, a hotel and a cinema, has been fully
leased with retail and dining establishments.
