Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 28, 2014, United Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, United Realty Capital Operating Partnership, L.P., became contractually bound through assignment and assumption from United Realty Capital, LLC, subject to certain conditions customary to closing, to close on a purchase and sale agreement, entered into on November 22, 2013 (the “PSA”) by and bewteen 82ND-17, LLC and United Realty Capital, LLC, pursuant to which the Company will acquire the fee simple interest in a commercial property located at 945 82nd Parkway in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The seller of the property is 82ND-17, LLC. The seller does not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition is not an affiliated transaction.
The property is a two-story, triple-net leased medical office building built in 1999, with 44,323 rentable square feet and 224 onsite outdoor parking spaces. Situated on three acres at the intersection of US-17 and 82nd Parkway, the property is situated in close proximity to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center (‘GSRMC”) at the entrance to a corridor of medical office buildings related to or directly serving GSRMC.
Pursuant to the terms of the PSA, the Company’s obligation to close upon the acquisition is subject to certain conditions customary to commercial property acquisitions. The Company anticipates closing the acquisition of the property on or before May 21, 2014. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. The PSA contains customary representations and warranties by the seller.
The contract purchase price for the property is approximately $14.5 million exclusive of brokerage commissions and closing costs, at a capitalization rate of 7.95% (calculated by dividing annualized rental income less estimated annualized property operating costs by the base purchase price). The Company intends to fund the property’s purchase price with proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering. The Company intends to obtain a first mortgage loan on the property in the amount of $10.3 million, either at or after closing, although there can be no assurance that we will obtain a first mortgage loan.
The property is currently 100% leased to three tenants, all medical service providers. As of March 31, 2014, each tenant occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage of the property. The first lease currently requires annualized rental income of approximately $333,000, is subject to 3.0% annual increases, expires in May 2020 and has no renewal option. The second lease requires annualized rental income of approximately $418,508, is subject to 2.0% - 4.0% annual increases based on CPI, expires in December 2019 and has two five-year renewal options by the tenant. The third lease requires annualized rental income of approximately $394,000, is subject to 2.0% - 4.0% annual increases based on CPI, expires in December 2019 and has two five-year renewal options by the tenant.
