The CTO Portfolio consists of properties net leased to leading national retailers such as Lowe’s, Walgreens, Harris Teeter and Big Lots, with more than 60% of annualized base rent coming from properties leased to, or with leases guaranteed by investment grade-rated entities.
All six of the properties in the CTO Portfolio are within metropolitan statistical areas that have populations over one million people, including locations in close proximity to Charlotte, NC; Seattle, WA; Washington, DC; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; and Orlando, FL.
As part of the CTO Portfolio acquisition, the Company assumed an existing $30.0 million secured mortgage, which bears a fixed interest rate of 4.33% (the “Loan”). The Loan matures in October 2034 and is prepayable without penalty beginning in October 2024.
With the closing of the CTO Portfolio, the Company has now completed the acquisition of the seven net lease retail properties from CTO Realty Growth, Inc., which were previously announced on April 6, 2021.
