Exhibit 99.1
FSP Galleria North Corp.
FSP Galleria North Corp. (the "Company") has continued its suspension of dividends for the fourth quarter of 2010, due to the fact that the Company’s property remains completely vacant.
The Company’s property located in Dallas, Texas, was previously 100% leased to a single tenant, Tenet Hospitals Limited (“Tenet”). Tenet’s lease expired on December 31, 2009. In anticipation of this vacancy and the increasing possibility of a prolonged economic downturn, the Company’s Board of Directors reduced the amount of the dividend for calendar year 2009 and suspended it altogether for calendar year 2010 in order to build up a larger reserve that may be allocated to fund operating expenses in the event that the Company’s property remains vacant for an extended period of time. The reserve may also be utilized to help with the capital costs to reposition the property from a single-tenant building to a multi-tenant building, if needed. As of January 2011, the Company has approximately $4.9 million of total reserves available to be allocated to the cost of leasing the property or to fund operating expenses.
As previously reported the property is in terrific condition and has been well received by those that have toured it. Management previously engaged an architect to assist with a repositioning of the building to make it more attractive to a wider variety of prospective tenants. During the fourth quarter, a marketing center was constructed on the first floor and select portions of floors have been demolished and cleaned to better present the interior and the exterior views. Management is utilizing the marketing center to feature plans for a large conference center and brand new fitness center that should be highly-desirable amenities within the building. Last quarter, we replaced the original cooling tower with a new cooling tower with enhanced capacity and efficiency that will be able to accommodate a larger number of prospective tenants with supplemental cooling needs. During the fourth quarter of 2009, management successfully led the effort to cause the property to obtain LEED Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance.
In the effort to re-lease the property, management has been working aggressively with the local leasing team to find prospective tenants. The number of inquiries and showings has increased during the past several months, and the overall results have been very encouraging. The consistently positive feedback from the prospects in regard to the quality of the property has been encouraging, but no letters of intent or leases have been signed thus far. It has become evident that the property is very well positioned as compared to other existing buildings, but the property is competing primarily with potential build-to-suit projects for larger prospective users. As previously reported, management cannot predict how long it will take for market conditions to recover and, therefore, is unable to predict how long it will take to re-lease and to stabilize the property. Once the property is re-leased and stabilized with a longer-term, in-place rental income stream, it is management’s intention to consider a sale of the property. Any sale of the property in the future would be subject to a number of conditions, including a favorable sales market environment, compliance with any SEC requirements, tax considerations, approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and approval by a majority of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock.
The Company’s annual filing on Form 10-K will be submitted to the SEC within approximately 90 days after year end, and you will be able to access the document via the SEC’s website.
