Consolidated Tomoka Announces Acquisition of Crossroads Towne Center, a 254,000 Square Foot Retail Center, in Chandler, Arizona for $61.8 Million

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE American: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the purchase of Crossroads Towne Center (“Crossroads”), an approximately 254,000 square foot retail center in Chandler, Arizona, for $61.8 million, representing a going-in cap rate of approximately 7.85%. Crossroads, located in the Phoenix MSA, is approximately 11 miles from Tempe and is 99% occupied. Crossroads is anchored by Home Depot and Wal-Mart, two properties that were not part of the Company’s acquisition, as well as a 12-screen Harkins Theatre and Bob’s Discount Furniture. Also included are multiple outparcels leased to tenants including, but not limited to, Chick-fil-A, JPMorgan Chase and Olive Garden. Additionally, Crossroads is located directly across the SanTan Freeway from Rivulon, the 250-acre mixed use development anchored by Deloitte. The weighted average lease term for the leases of all 32 tenants at Crossroads is approximately 5 years. Crossroads will be managed by Vestar and leased by JLL on behalf of the Company.

This acquisition was purchased using the remaining 1031 like-kind exchange proceeds from the Company’s October 2019 transaction with Magnetar Capital representing the sale of a controlling interest in the Company’s remaining land portfolio for $97 million (the “Magnetar Proceeds”) and a portion of the 1031 like-kind exchange proceeds from the sale of 20 assets to Alpine Income Property Trust (NYSE: PINE) in November 2019 (the “PINE Proceeds”). The Company anticipates reinvesting the remaining PINE Proceeds of approximately $64 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Mr. John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “We’re pleased that this acquisition represents our deployment of all of the $97 million of Magnetar Proceeds, successfully exchanging our non-income producing Daytona Beach land holdings into a diversified portfolio of quality long-term income-producing assets in strong markets.” Mr. Albright further stated, “This investment helps further strengthen and grow the Company’s income property portfolio, by adding an investment in a dynamic high growth market, while adding a diversity of new tenants to our portfolio.”
