Wilder and J.P. Morgan Asset Management Acquire The Marketplace at Huntingdon Valley, Launching New Retail Investment Partnership

Published: October 6, 2026

HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA. - [October 6, 2026] - Wilder, a leading retail real estate development, leasing, and management firm, today announced the acquisition of The Marketplace at Huntingdon Valley, a 257,000-square-foot community shopping center in Pennsylvania, through a newly formed investment partnership with investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management. The transaction marks the next chapter in a longstanding collaboration between the two groups, which includes Arsenal Yards in Watertown, Massachusetts, a redevelopment of an enclosed mall into a 1,000,000-square-foot mixed-use destination.

Located at 2010 County Line Road in Huntingdon Valley, the center serves one of the most affluent trade areas in the greater Philadelphia region. Anchored by Weis Markets, the tenant roster includes a complementary mix of national, regional, and service-oriented retailers, including LA Fitness, Penn Cinema, Starbucks, Chipotle, Dunkin', Hand & Stone, and Pennsylvania Fine Wine & Good Spirits. The property is approximately 95% occupied and has long served as a leading retail destination for the surrounding community.

Well positioned at the intersection of Montgomery County and Bucks County, the center benefits from average household incomes exceeding $138,000 within a three-mile radius and daily traffic counts of more than 23,500 vehicles, reinforcing its strong visibility and consumer draw.

"The Marketplace at Huntingdon Valley represents exactly the type of asset we're seeking as we continue to grow our investment platform," said Brian Cosentino, Senior Vice President, Acquisitions and New Business at Wilder."The center combines the durable fundamentals of a grocery-anchored property with exceptional demographics, established tenancy, and multiple opportunities to enhance long-term performance. We're especially proud that this acquisition continues our relationship with J.P. Morgan Asset Management and creates a strong foundation for future investments."

In addition to its strong in-place cash flow, The Marketplace at Huntingdon Valley offers several avenues for future value enhancement, including a vacant retail pad suitable for redevelopment or adaptive reuse, and recently completed solar energy improvements that support operational efficiency and sustainability objectives.

The acquisition also reflects Wilder's continued expansion across the Eastern Seaboard. Today, the company's portfolio spans from Maine to Florida, with a growing presence in key markets throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, and beyond. As Wilder continues to scale its investment, leasing and management platform, the company remains focused on acquiring and enhancing community-centered retail destinations in markets characterized by strong fundamentals, favorable demographics and long-term growth potential.

Wilder will oversee leasing, management, marketing and asset strategy for the property, with an immediate focus on placemaking, merchandising and targeted redevelopment initiatives designed to strengthen the center's position as a community destination.

Currently, The Marketplace at Huntingdon Valley is home to more than 40 retailers, restaurants and service providers and has served the local community for more than three decades.

Ken McEvoy, Bart Delfiner and Keith Seymore of Equity CRE represented the seller in the transaction.
