Investment highlights

EXCELLENT LOCATION / ACCESS

Strategically positioned along I-95 (64,000 VPD) at the

Hartford Turnpike (30,200 VPD), Crystal Mall is easily

accessible from all of western Connecticut, just one exit from

the I-95/I-395 split.

REPOSITIONING / REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

Crystal Mall offers a prospective purchaser the potential to

meaningfully reposition a major asset along the heavily traveled I-95 corridor.

STRONG DEMAND DRIVERS

Crystal Mall is located just a short distance from Connecticut’s

Mystic Country area, which includes top tourist attractions

such as Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos, Mystic

Aquarium, and the historic Mystic Seaport. The Property is

proximate to the area’s major employers, including General

Dynamics Electric Boat, the U.S. Naval Submarine base in

Groton as well the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with more

than 1,000 cadets, all of whom live on campus. Area colleges

and universities also include Connecticut College, a 750-acre

campus with over 1,900 students and Mitchell College, a 68-

acre campus with over 1,000 students.

LIMITED DIRECT COMPETITION

Crystal Mall enjoys a strong competitive position as the closest competing regional mall is approximately 50 miles driving distance to the west in Meriden, Connecticut. As a result, the Property serves all of New London and Middlesex Counties in

Connecticut along with Washington County in Rhode Island.

ATTRACTIVE OUTPARCEL COMPONENT

Crystal Mall features two nationally-prominent fast casual restaurants, Longhorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden, which generate a combined base rent of more than $323,000 – providing meaningful value enhancement and basis reduction via potential sale.

ADDITIONAL UPSIDE POTENTIAL

The Property offers further additional upside with the potential to lease 39 available small shop suites, comprising approximately 235,728 SF.

DESIRABLE DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

Crystal Mall benefits from a well-heeled trade area featuring a population of approximately 233,276 people and an average household income of $113,146 within a 15-mile radius of the Property.
