Completed Real Property Acquisition Update
Key Logistics Portfolio
On July 14, 2021, BCI IV Portfolio Real Estate Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or “Black Creek Holdco”, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a 100% fee interest in 48 industrial buildings totaling approximately 8.3 million square feet on approximately 480.7 acres, which we refer to as the “Key Logistics Portfolio,” pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the “Merger Agreement,” by and between Black Creek Holdco, Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or “USLF,” Prologis USLV Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or “USLV,” and Prologis USLV SubREIT 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or “USLV SubREIT,” and together with USLF and USLV, the “Sellers.” The Key Logistics Portfolio is located in 13 geographic markets throughout the United States and is 96.4% occupied by 83 customers with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 3.4 years. One customer in the Key Logistics Portfolio individually leases more than 10% of the total rentable area, as described below:
| ● | Radial, Inc., a multinational e-commerce company, leases 1.0 million square feet, or approximately 11.6% of the portfolio’s rentable area, under one lease that expires in 2026 with two options to extend the term of the lease for five years each. The annual base rent under the leases is currently $3.6 million and is subject to annual rent escalations of approximately 2% in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. |
In general, the customers are responsible for paying directly or reimbursing us for their pro rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, and repair and maintenance costs of the property.
Our management currently believes that the Key Logistics Portfolio is suitable for its intended purpose and has no immediate plans for material renovations or other capital improvements, and that the Key Logistics Portfolio will be adequately covered by insurance. There are a number of comparable facilities in the vicinity of the Key Logistics Portfolio that may compete with these buildings. The cost of the Key Logistics Portfolio (excluding the cost attributable to intangible lease assets and liabilities, which will be amortized over the remaining lease term, and land) will be depreciated for tax purposes over a maximum of a 40-year period on a straight-line basis.
The total purchase price was $920.0 million, subject to customary prorations. We estimate that the purchase price capitalization rate is approximately 4.0%. The purchase price capitalization rate is based on the property’s projected cash net operating income from in-place leases for the 12 months after the date of purchase, including any contractual rent increases contained in such leases for those 12 months, divided by the purchase price for the property, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses and other closing costs including acquisition costs. We funded this acquisition using proceeds from this offering and funds from our existing credit facility. The Sellers are not affiliated with us or our affiliates.
Following the closing, 12 of the 48 buildings in the Key Logistics Portfolio, totaling approximately 4.2 million square feet, were placed in one or more Delaware statutory trusts, or “DST Properties,” and became a part of our DST Program. The interests in the DST Properties are owned by a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and will be sold to third party investors. We, through a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, hold
