# Sedano’s Buys Miami-Dade Retail Center Where It Operates a Supermarket

**TL;DR:** Sedano's Supermarkets purchased a Miami-Dade retail center for $32 million, where it operates a supermarket. The deal is part of a trend of grocery store chains buying out their landlords, with competitor Publix spending over $400 million on similar purchases since 2023.

## Story

**Sedano’s Supermarkets** purchased one of the retail centers it anchors in Miami-Dade County, property records show.

The Florida grocery store chain paid $32 million for a 107,034-square-foot open-air property at **8601 Bird Road**, by the intersection with Southwest 87th Avenue, near Tropical Park. Besides the Sedano store, tenants include **Denny’s** and **Office Depot**.

The buyer assumed the seller’s $6.7 million loan, increasing it by $33.4 million, bringing the total debt to $40.1 million, with **Ocean Bank** serving as a lender. **Hecht Bird Road Property**, an affiliate of **Amdur Management**, had owned the 8.7-acre asset since 2004.

The purchase represents the latest example of grocery store chains buying out their landlords.

Since 2023, Sedano’s competitor, **Publix**, has spent more than $400 million on purchasing the retail centers it anchors. In June, the Lakeland, Fla.-based grocery store chain paid $24 million for a 71,191-square-foot property near Boynton Beach.

In 2024, **Amazon**-owned **Whole Foods** bought the retail condo, which houses its Downtown Miami store, for $21 million.

A representative for Sedano did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The sellers could not be reached for comment.
