Chicago Industrial Portfolio
On May 4, 2011, Industrial Income Trust Inc. (the Company) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% fee interest in nine industrial buildings aggregating approximately 1.4 million square feet on 108.8 acres located in Chicago, Illinois (the Chicago Industrial Portfolio). As of August 4, 2011, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, had completed the acquisition of seven of the nine industrial buildings of the Chicago Industrial Portfolio. On August 25, 2011, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of one of the two remaining industrial buildings in the Chicago Industrial Portfolio, aggregating approximately 145,000 square feet on 9.5 acres (the Building). The Company expects to complete the acquisition of the remaining building of the Chicago Industrial Portfolio during the third quarter of 2011.
The sellers of the Building, Crossroads Bolingbrook, LLC and RES Crossroads Bolingbrook, LLC, are not affiliated with the Company or its affiliates.
The Building is 100% leased to two tenants with an average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 6.8 years. Both tenants individually lease more than 10% of the rentable area of the Building, as described below:
| Daniel M. Powers & Associates, Ltd., a manufacturer of custom millwork/fixtures and steel shelving, leases approximately 100,000 square feet, or approximately 69% of the aggregate rentable area, under a lease that expires in September 2016 with two options to extend the lease for a period of five years each. The annual base rent under the lease is currently approximately $464,000 and is subject to annual rent escalations of approximately 2.5% beginning in September 2011. |
| Walgreen Co., a provider of consumer goods and services and pharmacy, health and wellness services in the U.S., leases approximately 45,000 square feet, or approximately 31% of the aggregate rentable area, under a lease that expires in February 2022 with no options to extend the lease. The annual base rent under the lease is currently approximately $198,000 and is subject to annual rent escalations of approximately 22.3% beginning in February 2012 and 15.8% beginning in February 2017. |
The total purchase price for the Building was approximately $9.6 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs. Pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated advisory agreement, dated as of May 14, 2010 and as extended to December 16, 2011, by and among the Company, Industrial Income Operating Partnership LP, and Industrial Income Advisors LLC (the Advisor), the Company paid an acquisition fee of approximately $96,000 to the Advisor, equal to 1.0% of the purchase price of the Building. The Company funded the acquisition using proceeds from its public offering and debt financing obtained by the Company, which is described under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Chicago Industrial Portfolio will be managed by HSA Commercial Real Estate, Inc.
Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
Additional Debt Secured by the Chicago Industrial Portfolio
On August 25, 2011, the Company, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, assumed a $6.3 million fixed rate loan agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association, in order to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Building. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.24%, requires monthly payments of principal and interest, and has a contractual maturity of July 11, 2016. The loan is secured by a mortgage, deed to secure debt, or deed of trust, as applicable, and related assignments and security interests in the Building.
Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
Status of Investments in Real Estate
As of August 26, 2011, the Company has acquired properties with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $712.6 million, comprised of 68 buildings totaling approximately 12.5 million square feet with 159 tenants in 12 markets, including five value-add buildings owned by the Company. The Companys operating portfolio, which excludes the value-add buildings, consists of 145 tenants in 63 buildings with a weighted-average occupancy rate of approximately 95% and a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 6.2 years.

Assuming completion of the acquisitions currently under contract, the Companys operating portfolio, which excludes the five value-add buildings, will consist of 194 tenants in 89 buildings with a weighted-average occupancy rate of approximately 97% and an aggregate average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 5.8 years. The Companys operating portfolio would have an estimated aggregate weighted-average purchase price capitalization rate of approximately 7.0%. There is no assurance that the Company will consummate the acquisitions currently under contract.
