Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

1140 Avenue of the Americas Loan

 

On June 15, 2016, American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s operating partnership (the “OP”), entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan”) with Ladder Capital Finance I LLC (“Ladder”), in the amount of $99.0 million in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the leasehold interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 1140 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, New York (the “Property”). The Loan is secured by a mortgage on the Property, bears interest at a rate equal to 4.109%, and requires monthly interest payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date of July 6, 2026. The Loan contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Loan is nonrecourse, may be accelerated only in the event of a default and may only be prepaid upon payment of a penalty based on a yield maintenance premium based on 3.0% of principal amount being repaid prior to August 2018 and 1.0% thereafter through maturity.

 

Other than with respect to the Loan, there are no other material relationships between Ladder and the Company.

 

The summary description in this Current Report on Form 8-K of the Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan. The Company will file the Loan with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

1140 Avenue of the Americas

 

On June 15, 2016, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary of the OP, closed its acquisition of the leasehold interest in the Property. The seller of the Property was BPGL Holdings LLC (the “Seller”). Except for the Loan and a ground lease with a remaining term of 50 years, the Company acquired the Property free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances.

The contract purchase price for the Property was $180.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The amount of consideration payable to the Seller in connection with the acquisition of the Property was determined by arms-length negotiations between the Seller and the Company, and not pursuant to any specific formula or principle. The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from its initial public offering, which was ongoing from May 2014 to May 2015, and the Loan. In connection with the acquisition and financing of the Property, the Company paid its advisor approximately $3.4 million in acquisition and financing coordination fees, and reimbursed its advisor $0.9 million in insourced acquisition expenses.

 

The Property contains approximately 250,000 rentable square feet and is currently 91% leased. The Property’s largest tenants are City National Bank and Waterfall Asset Management, each representing approximately 19% and 10% of annualized cash base rent, respectively.

 

The following table provides information relating to lease commencement and termination dates, rentable square feet, annualized cash base rent, rental escalations and renewal options for the largest tenants, which represent greater than 10% of total annualized cash base rent. The leases with City National Bank and Waterfall Asset Management each represent greater than 10% of total rentable square feet. No other tenants represent greater than 10% of total rentable square feet.
