Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Publix Shopping Center, Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina
On November 9, 2004, we purchased a newly constructed shopping center known as Publix Shopping Center, containing 63,864 gross leasable square feet. The center is located at US Highway 17 and Park West Boulevard in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
We purchased this property from an unaffiliated third party. Our total acquisition cost was approximately $12,101,000. These amounts may increase by additional costs which have not yet been finally determined. We expect any additional costs to be insignificant. Our acquisition cost was approximately $189 per square foot of leasable space.
We purchased this property with our own funds. However, we expect to place financing on the property at a later date.
We do not intend to make significant repairs and improvements to this property over the next few years. However, if we were to make any repairs or improvements, the tenants would be obligated to pay a substantial portion of any monies spent pursuant to the provisions of their respective leases.
One tenant, Publix, leases more than 10% of the total gross leasable area of the property. The lease with this tenant requires the tenant to pay base annual rent on a monthly basis as follows:
Base Rent | |||||
Approximate | Per Square | ||||
GLA Leased | % of Total | Foot Per | Lease | Term | |
Lessee | (Sq. Ft.) | GLA | Annum ($) | Beginning | To |
Publix | 44,840 | 70 | 11.50 | 04/04 | 04/24 |
For federal income tax purposes, the depreciable basis in this property will be approximately $9,076,000. When we calculate depreciation expense for tax purposes, we will use the straight-line method. We depreciate buildings and improvements based upon estimated useful lives of 40 and 20 years, respectively.
Publix Center is newly constructed and was completed during 2004. As of November 1, 2004, the property was 95% leased to 11 tenants. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to those leases:
Approximate GLA Leased | Renewal | Current Annual | Base Rent Per Square Foot | ||
Lessee | (Sq. Ft.) | Lease Ends | Options | Rent ($) | Per Annum ($) |
Homeflix/Zone 3 Entertainment | 3,750 | 04/09 | 3/5 yr. | 67,500 | 18.00 |
O'Neill Liquor | 1,418 | 05/09 | 1/5 yr. | 25,652 | 18.09 |

Publix | 44,840 | 04/24 | 6/5 yr. | 515,660 | 11.50 |
In general, each tenant will pay its proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs, although the leases with some tenants may provide that the tenant's liability for such expenses is limited in some way, usually so that their liability for such expenses does not exceed a specified amount.
