Partners Real Estate Investment Trust Completes Vancouver Island Property Acquisition
(firmenpresse) - VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/26/13 -- Partners Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX: PAR.UN) announced today that it has completed the previously-announced acquisition of the Mariner Square Shopping Centre, a 97.8% occupied six-building open-air retail centre aggregating approximately 101,000 square foot of Gross Leasable Area ("GLA"). Anchored by a Save-On Foods grocery store, London Drugs and a BC Liquor Store, as well as a Starbucks coffee shop and Subway restaurant, approximately 89% of the property's total in-place rental income is derived from necessity-based national, regional and government tenants. The centre is situated in downtown Campbell River on the east coast of Vancouver Island about 260 kilometers north of Victoria.
The REIT paid approximately $25.8 million for the property, satisfied by the assumption of a $14.7 million current mortgage maturing in November 2017 bearing a mark-to-market interest rate of 3.5%, with the balance in cash. The centre is estimated to generate current in-place annualized Net Operating Income of approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million in annualized Funds from Operations.
"We are pleased to continue the expansion of the Partners portfolio in Western Canada," commented Patrick Miniutti, CEO. "Mariner Square is a high-quality property with strong cash flows located in a continuously expanding market of Vancouver Island that is supported by two significant, long-term infrastructure projects."
