Cohen & Steers and DLC Acquire West Street Shopping Center in Keene, New Hampshire

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers (NYSE: CNS) announced today that the Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities Fund (REOF) has acquired West Street Shopping Center, a grocery-anchored center in Keene, New Hampshire. The acquisition was made through a joint venture with DLC, a vertically integrated owner and operator of open-air shopping centers.

West Street Shopping Center aligns with Cohen & Steers' investment thesis of acquiring income-generating shopping centers anchored by necessity-based retailers in established markets with limited competitive retail supply. The center is anchored by a top-performing Hannaford grocery store and includes a diverse mix of necessity- and value-oriented retailers including Hobby Lobby, Maurices, UPS, Spectrum, and AAA.

James S. Corl, Head of the Private Real Estate Group at Cohen & Steers, said:
"West Street Shopping Center has several attributes that we find particularly attractive. Keene is a key regional hub, with highways leading out of the city in eight directions, resulting in a very large effective catchment area. Keene also sits close to the Massachusetts state border, where the sales tax of 6.25% provides a meaningful incentive to make the drive over into New Hampshire where the sales tax is zero. As a result of these and other local considerations, the grocer at West Street generates extraordinary sales, which drives exceptional traffic to the center. This profile is highly desirable to many national retailers who are underrepresented in Keene and have been looking for a way to participate in this market."

West Street Shopping Center is located about 90 miles northwest of Boston in a stable, regional market with a 3-mile median household income of $85,000¹. The area serves as the primary commercial hub for southwestern New Hampshire and also draws customers from adjacent states due to a favorable tax environment.
