Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

216-18 West 18th Street

 

On March 27, 2013, American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, closed the acquisition of the fee simple interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 216-18 West 18th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The property was sold by a joint venture between Atlas Capital Group, LLC and GreenOak Real Estate Advisors, LP. The sellers do not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.  

 

The contract purchase price of the property was $112.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with: (i) proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering in the amount of $52.0 million; and (ii) a $60.0 million mortgage loan with Capital One, National Association, as described in more detail below in Item 2.03 – Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company may seek to obtain further financing on the property post-closing. However, there is no guarantee that it will be able to obtain financing on terms it believes are favorable, if at all.

 

The property contains 165,670 rentable square feet and is 83.7% leased to five tenants: Red Bull North America, Inc.; SAE Institute of Technology (New York) Corp.; Deluxe Media Creative Services Inc.; SYPartners; and Microsoft Corporation.

 

The following table provides information relating to lease commencement and termination dates, rentable square feet, rental escalations, renewal options and cash rental income for the five tenants:
