Its sales place it in our Tier 1 asset pool, and the center has huge potential for future growth in both sales and income given the in-place single-digit occupancy cost, opportunities to upgrade the retailer and restaurant mix and the near-term expansion on accessible land. It will also enjoy a synergistic relationship with our other assets in the Carolinas, primarily Friendly Center in Greensboro, NC, one of our most successful properties generating strong growth in NOI, sales and compriseent demand from high quality retailers, counting the recently opened Lululemon store.
