Consolidated Tomoka Announces Purchase of Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center in Fort Worth, Texas for $15.0 Million

March 2, 2017

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT:CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the acquisition of an approximately 136,000 square foot grocery-anchored shopping center located at 3563 Alton Rd. in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Property”) for $15.0 million at a 6.28% cap rate. The Property is an in-fill location situated on approximately 10.3 acres and consists of four single-tenant properties and one multi-tenant property situated on three separate, but contiguous, land parcels. The anchor property is an approximately 39,000 square-foot building leased to Albertsons under a triple-net lease with approximately five years remaining at a lease rate well below the current market rental rate. Cook Children’s Health Foundation leases the second largest property, an approximately 38,000 square-foot office building, under a triple-net lease with approximately two years remaining, also at a rental rate below current market rates. The multi-tenant property is approximately 55,000 square-feet and is anchored by Dollar General and Ace Hardware. The Property, in aggregate, is approximately 96% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 4.1 years.

The purchase price for the Property represents a significant discount to current replacement value and the majority of the in-place rents are significantly below current market rates. The Property is located approximately three miles from downtown Fort Worth and less than a mile from the 10,000+ student campus of Texas Christian University (“TCU”). The Property serves the TCU campus and a dense residential area with a three-mile population of approximately 122,000 people with an average household income of more than $75,000 per annum.

John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “This property represents the purchase of a large land parcel with future renovation possibilities, that is leased to several credit tenants with the potential to increase the yield by going from low in-place rental rates to market rates.” Mr. Albright continued, “With this purchase we have reinvested a substantial portion of the recent $27 million land sale to Minto Communities. This acquisition brings our total 2017 investment activity to approximately $19 million.”
