ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (BNL) announced today that it is actively monitoring and assessing the impact of Hurricane and Tropical Storm Irma on its properties located in Florida and the areas of Georgia impacted by the storm. BNL’s portfolio management team has been able to communicate with certain of BNL’s tenants in the affected areas and has reached out to verify on-site contacts to ease post-storm communications and to offer assistance in working through any property or insurance matters arising as a result of the storm. BNL has 50 properties located in Florida and the areas of Georgia impacted by Irma, which, as of June 30, 2017, represent approximately $13.5 million, or 8.5%, of BNL’s contractual rental revenue over the next twelve months and approximately 1.0 million, or 7.4%, of BNL’s rentable square feet of operational space. As the full impact of the storm is still unknown, we will provide additional information or updates in the event of a material change.
BNL also announced that of its properties in Houston, Texas, and the areas affected by Hurricane Harvey, only three properties, which are master leased to one tenant, sustained minor damage as a result of the hurricane. BNL has 29 properties located in the greater Houston, Texas, area, which, as of June 30, 2017, represent approximately $13.4 million, or 8.5%, of BNL’s contractual rental revenue over the next twelve months and approximately 1.1 million, or 8.1%, of BNL’s rentable square feet of operational space.
“Our thoughts continue to be with all of the people and communities impacted by these storms, including our friends, tenants, family, and co-workers in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and along the Gulf Coast,” stated Chris Czarnecki, Chief Executive Officer of BNL. “In the coming weeks, our portfolio management team, which includes our dedicated corporate risk and insurance manager, will work with our tenants to develop a complete understanding of any potential impacts from these storms.”
