The following information disclosed by Gramercy Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 hereto relate to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-208717) of the Company (the “Registration Statement”), and are being filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission for incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement.
On December 16, 2017, the Company announced the acquisition of a 17-property, 10.3 million square foot, Class A warehouse portfolio (the “Portfolio”) for $521 million, and the private placement of $350.0 million in senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”).
The Portfolio consists of 17 bulk warehouses located in key logistics markets throughout the United States. The Company assumed approximately $198 million of secured debt in connection with the acquisition with a weighted average interest rate of 4.1% and a weighted average maturity of 3.9 years. Twelve of the 17 assets comprising the Portfolio are single-tenant properties and five of the assets have two tenants. The Portfolio consists of 15 stabilized assets with a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.2 years, one value-add asset located in Fairfield, California with a short-term in-place lease and one value-add asset located in Southhaven, Mississippi (Memphis MSA) that is 53% leased to a single tenant through August 2021. The 15 stabilized assets total 9.3 million square feet, and are located in Atlanta, Charleston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Memphis, and Sacramento. The two value-add properties total approximately 980,900 square feet.
The Notes consist of $150.0 million of notes due December 2022 having a fixed interest rate of 3.89%, $100.0 million of notes due December 2025 having a fixed interest rate of 4.26%, and $100.0 million of notes due December 2026 having a fixed interest rate of 4.32%, resulting in a weighted average maturity of 8.0 years and a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.12%.

As of the date hereof, market and operational trends for the Company’s business have remained consistent with the market and operational trends observed by the Company at December 20, 2016.
