Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 19, 2024 we entered into an agreement to acquire two industrial properties located in Theodore, Alabama for $49 million. The two properties comprise an aggregate of 371,586 square feet and are located on approximately 31 acres. Each property has one building which is leased to two tenants. The aggregate annual base rent is approximately $3.1 million, with annual rental increases generally ranging from 2.3% to 3.5%, and the weighted average remaining lease term is approximately seven years. We expect to finance the acquisition with cash and a ten-year $29 million mortgage (interest only for five years and then amortizing on a 30 year schedule) bearing an interest rate of 6.12%. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the completion, to our satisfaction, of our due diligence investigation. We anticipate that this transaction will be completed in early 2025, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
