Acquires 1890 Ranch Shopping Center in Austin, Texas

New York, June 9, 2026- Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. ("CNSREIT") today announced its latest acquisition, a high-quality community shopping center on the north side of Austin, Texas. The investment was made through a programmatic joint venture with Sterling Organization, a real estate investment firm that specializes in shopping centers in the U.S.

1890 Ranch is a 442,000 square foot power center located in Cedar Park, Texas, a mature suburb of Austin positioned in the city's growth corridor. Cedar Park has nearly doubled its population since 2005 and has a population in its three-mile radius of 86,000 with a median household income of $118,000.1 1890 Ranch is 99% occupied, shadow-anchored by Target and includes leading retail concepts such as Academy Sports and Outdoor, Crunch Fitness, Burlington, Ross Dress for Less, Hobby Lobby, and Ashley Furniture.

James S. Corl, Chief Executive Officer of CNSREIT and Head of the Private Real Estate Group at Cohen & Steers, said:

"Austin's long-running growth boom has occurred when very little retail real estate was developed in the U.S. As a result, Austin's retail real estate infrastructure today is underdeveloped. Housing construction has rapidly absorbed most of the available land in the area around Cedar Park and has left highly productive retailers with few attractive places to meet their high-income customers - as evidenced by the 99% occupancy rate at 1890 Ranch. As the dominant center at an important retail and healthcare node, we believe that 1890 Ranch will become an increasingly vital epicenter in this burgeoning community."

CNSREIT has an initial focus on well-anchored, necessity-driven shopping centers. Open-air shopping centers are at their highest occupancy level of the past 16 years with power centers at 95.1%2, outperforming all other sectors, according to real estate analytics provider CoStar Group.
