Drexeline Shopping Center sells for $30M



Drexeline Shopping Center, a 265,825-square-foot property on 18.5 acres at Route 1 and State Road in Upper Darby, Pa., sold for $30 million.

MCB Real Estate from Baltimore is the buyer. It owns other Philadelphia area properties including 840 Cottman Ave., 140 N. McDade Blvd. and Airport Plaza.


The property is a retail destination and institution in Upper Darby. It was developed in 1950 by the Seegul family, who were also the sellers.

While it has large anchors such as ShopRite, CVS, and Wells Fargo, Drexeline also has several smaller community-based tenants such as a dry cleaners, an optometrist, pizza place, appliance store and dance studio.

The property pulls shoppers from a large area including the Main Line, where household incomes are high. For example, Haverford, Pa., is within five miles and its annual household income is $151,000 whereas Gladwyne, Pa., is within 10 miles and has an annual household income of $189,000.

The center was put up for sale a year ago. Jim Galbally of JLL arranged the transaction.
