Sidney Towne Center Acquisition
On August 2, 2012, Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), through a joint venture formed between a group of institutional international investors advised by CBRE Investors Global Multi Manager (the “CBRE Global Investors”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Joint Venture”), purchased a shopping center containing 118,360 rentable square feet located on approximately 8.6 acres of land in Sidney, Ohio (“Sidney Towne Center”), a city located 38 miles north of Dayton, Ohio, for approximately $4.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company holds an approximate 54% interest in the Joint Venture and the CBRE Global Investors hold the remaining approximate 46% interest. The Joint Venture funded the purchase price with proceeds of approximately $2.3 million from the Company’s initial public offering and approximately $2.0 million provided by the CBRE Global Investors. Sidney Towne Center was originally constructed in 1981.
Sidney Towne Center is approximately 98.5% leased to six tenants. The largest tenant at Sidney Towne Center is Kroger, which occupies approximately 75.6% of the rentable square feet at Sidney Towne Center. The current aggregate annual effective rent for the tenants of Sidney Towne Center is approximately $460,000 and the current weighted-average remaining lease term for the tenants is approximately 7.0 years. The current weighted-average effective rental rate over the lease term, which is calculated as the annualized effective rent divided by the leased rentable square feet, is approximately $3.92 per square foot.
Based on the current condition of Sidney Towne Center, the Company does not believe that it will be necessary to make significant renovations to Sidney Towne Center. The Company’s management believes that Sidney Towne Center is adequately insured.
