Bear Equities, a Dallas-based investment firm, announced today that it acquired the fee simple interest in a single tenant net leased property in Fort Worth, TX.  The property is currently 100% occupied by AutoZone (NYSE: AZO) under a long-term absolute triple-net ground lease.

The firm’s focus on acquiring high-quality assets in prime locations backed by investment-grade credit tenants alights with its commitment to long-term growth and value creation for its investors.
