The Offering
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (“HFF”), is pleased to exclusively offer
MacArthur Towne Centre (the “Property”), a strategically located, 151,418 SF,
94.5% occupied power center. Anchored by American Signature Furniture, JoAnn Fabric, and 2nd & Charles (Books-A-Million), the Property is prominently
located on the highly traversed MacArthur Road (44,000 VPD), the dominant
retail corridor within the Lehigh Valley. The Lehigh Valley is currently one of
the foremost growing economies in Pennsylvania with net new job growth

occupancy of 94.5% and a roster of anchor tenants paying well below market
rental rates, MacArthur Towne Centre offers the opportunity for investors to
acquire strategically positioned real estate with the ability to increase income
significantly through re-merchandising and repositioning, in one of the most
sought after markets in Pennsylvania.

PRIME OPPORTUNITY TO RE-MERCHANDISE THE PROPERTY, INCREASING
RENTAL RATES, TENANCY, AND CREDIT PROFILE
MacArthur Towne Centre offers an opportunity to mark-to-market the rental rates on the
anchor spaces while simultaneously improving the credit profile of the Property. American
Signature Furniture, Jo-Ann, and 2nd & Charles are currently paying well below the rental
rates for comparable real estate with Class A corporate tenancy in the market, by a delta
of $4.07/SF - $7.99/SF depending on the space. The current successful operations at the
Property which is 94.5% occupied, and the previous tenancy of GIANT in the American
Signature Space, before moving across the street to MacArthur Commons in 2002, speaks to
the potential upside of the location and supreme fundamentals of the real estate.

an impressive and extensive list of national tenants. Anchored by the Lehigh Valley Mall, where the full anchor tenant roster
are strong performers, the stretch of MacArthur Road from Route 22 to Eberhart Road has zero available anchor space and
continues to attract out-of-market tenants, while keeping the most prominent tenants in the market. Most notably, the area
has seen a recent proposal from Lidl, a growing German discount supermarket, proposing a new development just
0.25 miles north of the Property on the corner of MacArthur Road and Eberhart Road. Furthermore, the Walmart just across
the street recently upgraded its presence by developing a new Walmart Supercenter in 2012, increasing its square footage
by nearly 70,000 square feet to 186,000 square feet. The location has also recently attracted Chik-Fil-A (not included), which
is being developed at the main entrance to MacArthur Towne Centre.
