Item 8.01. Other Events
Heron Creek Towne Center
On December 17, 2012, Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased a grocery-anchored shopping center known as Heron Creek Towne Center (“Heron Creek”) for approximately $8.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the
purchase price with proceeds from the Company’s ongoing public offering. Heron Creek contains 64,664 rentable square feet and is located on approximately 10.2 acres of land in North Port, Florida.
Heron Creek is approximately 90.4% leased to 11 tenants. The largest tenant at Heron Creek is a Publix grocery store, which occupies approximately 68.5% of the rentable square feet at Heron Creek. The current aggregate annual effective rent for the tenants of Heron Creek is approximately $650,000 and the current weighted-average remaining lease term for the tenants is approximately 6.4 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 $11.20 per square foot.
Based on the current condition of Heron Creek, the Company does not believe that it will be necessary to make significant renovations to the property. The Company’s management believes that Heron Creek is adequately insured.
Press Release
On December 18, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing its acquisition of Heron Creek.
