EDENS, a real estate company focused on shopping centers, is expanding to the West with the purchase of eight properties, including three in the Bay Area.

The company, which was founded in South Carolina in 1966, said the properties total more than 1 million square feet, with six in California and the other two in Washington. Donahue Schriber, another real estate firm specializing in shopping centers, currently lists all the sites as its properties. Neither company immediately responded to questions about the transaction.

“Our West Coast expansion is a pivotal milestone for EDENS and the next step toward building a pipeline of future opportunities,” said Jami Passer, the company’s chief investment officer, in a statement. “We have arrived on the West Coast in a meaningful way.”
