NEW YORK, Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RPT Realty (NYSE:RPT) (“RPT” or the “Company”) announced today transaction activity for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.
During the fourth quarter 2021, through its three strategic investment platforms, the Company closed on the acquisition of three multi-tenant open-air shopping centers with a contract value of $173.0 million. The Company, through its RGMZ net lease platform also acquired $73.2 million of single-tenant net lease assets, all of which were parceled from existing RPT multi-tenant shopping centers. Additionally, the Company closed on the sale of Market Plaza and Webster Place in the Chicago market for a combined contract value of $59.5 million.
For the full year 2021, through its three strategic investment platforms, the Company closed on 11 multi-tenant acquisitions with a contract value of $540.9 million. The Company, through RGMZ, also acquired $191.0 million of single-tenant net lease assets including $186.3 million that were parceled from RPT multi-tenant shopping centers. In addition, the Company closed on $59.5 million of multi-tenant dispositions in 2021.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Investment Highlights
- Acquired the 82,000 square foot, Highland Lakes shopping center in Tampa, the Company’s fifth largest market based on annualized base rent, for $15.0 million. The Company acquired the asset with a vacant former Steinmart box and has since signed a lease with a premier, investment grade grocer that will increase occupancy to over 95% and result in an expected stabilized yield to current market cap rate spread of approximately 150 basis points.
- Acquired the 510,000 square foot Dedham shopping center in the Boston market for $131.5 million or $67.7 million at the Company’s pro-rata share through the R2G joint venture platform. Dedham is a market dominant infill center anchored by a top Stop & Shop supermarket, located inside the Boston 128 loop that boasts strong 3-mile average household incomes of $136,000 and population density of 109,000.
- Acquired the 259,000 square foot, Hannaford’s supermarket and Lowe’s anchored Mountain Valley shopping center in Conway, NH for $26.5 million or $1.7 million at the Company’s pro-rata share through RGMZ. The acquisition of Mountain Valley represents a unique value creation opportunity for the RGMZ platform that capitalizes on value dislocations between multi and single-tenant assets on an attractive risk-adjusted basis.
- Sold Market Plaza and Webster Place for $59.5 million in Chicago, significantly reducing the Company’s exposure to this non-core market and to Regal Cinemas.
- Sold $73.2 million of single-tenant net lease properties that were parceled from existing RPT multi-tenant shopping centers to the RGMZ net lease platform, including $64.6 million of sales from the Company’s recently-acquired Northborough Crossing property in the Boston market and $8.6 million of sales that were part of the RGMZ initial seed portfolio.
“2021 marked a significant milestone in the evolution of the RPT portfolio,” said Brian Harper, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The attractive and high-growth markets of Boston, Tampa, Atlanta and Nashville now account for over 25% of our ABR, up more than 12% since the end of 2020, while our exposure to Detroit, Cincinnati and Chicago has fallen by more than 8% over the same time period. The power of our three investment platforms is allowing us to quickly reshape our portfolio, while generating accretive returns for our shareholders.”
