The core of the portfolio – representing approximately 75% of the in-place net operating income – consists of six retail centers well positioned along the I-85 corridor between Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina. These core assets feature major anchor tenants including Harris Teeter, PetSmart, T.J. Maxx, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross Dress for Less, Hobby Lobby and Petco. The remaining five properties in the portfolio are each Kroger-anchored retail centers located in Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana and Texas.
The Company funded the $170.5 million purchase price with the net proceeds from the sales of the Oceaneering International and Richmond Tower office buildings in addition to borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company recently completed the sale of the Richmond Tower office building for $78 million and the Oceaneering International building for $30 million.
“We are pleased to strategically redeploy the capital we realized from our recently completed dispositions into a portfolio of high-quality assets anchored by a diverse group of credit-quality tenants,” commented Louis Haddad, President and CEO. “Through this portfolio acquisition, we expand our geographic footprint in North and South Carolina. The six retail centers located in the Carolinas fit perfectly into our core operating portfolio and long-term strategy. We continue to evaluate the properties located outside the Carolinas for potential sale in order to generate proceeds between $20 million and $40 million.”
