Tenant Information & Lease Terms

Almost total rollover of leases in the first 7 years. All leases are NNN except Family Health Centers, which is a modified Gross lease.

There are Co-Tenancy Provisions for Petco, CVS, Rainbow, and Factory 2 U which allow all or some to either reduce their rent or terminate their lease.

Key Positives

  • The submarket retail occupancy is high in the area, at 97.7%.

  • The CVS anchor recently renewed their lease.  They have 12-years remaining. 

  • There is potential to increase revenue at the property through lease renewals and the addition of new tenants. 

Key Risks to Consider

  • If Albertsons leaves the shopping center it could trigger co-tenancy provisions which would allow other tenants to pay reduced rent or leave.

  • The load on this offering is high, especially considering the sponsor is using leverage. The load is 18.54%.

  • Roll over happening in years 2017-2024.  This represents 95.7% of the total square footage.  This could allow for higher rents or new tenants, however some leases may not be renewed.  In addition leasing commissions and tenant improvements may be more than the reserves can cover.
