MD Firm Buys Up Struggling Baltimore Co. Shops In $19M Deal

TOWSON, MD — Kite Realty Group Trust has sold the struggling Towson Square and Circle East retail complexes to Baltimore-based Tide Realty Capital, the Baltimore Business Journal reports.

Kite originally valued the properties at $30 million but sold both to Tide Realty for $19 million, including a $15.2 million loan, according to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last week.
