The complex is comprised of two industrial buildings, aggregating 99,000 square feet, and was acquired for a purchase price of $24.0 million, subject to customary adjustments. The property has 18 units and is currently 100% occupied. The Company will hold a 40% interest and its joint venture partners, Takol Real Estate Inc. and a private real estate investor, will hold the remainder.

The company invested $3.12 million and the other partners invested $4.68 million in the aggregate (inclusive of purchase price deposits) with the remainder of the purchase price and funds to renovate the property provided by a financial institution at a current rate of 3.70% per annum. The existing rent roll allows for the renovation and turnover of units into condominiums while still collecting rental revenue from the tenants whose leases have term left. The purchase, which equates to approximately $312 per square foot while sales are expected to be in the range of $360 per square foot.
