CoStar Group - December 15, 2010
Realty Income Corp. completed the acquisition of 135 SuperAmerica convenience stores and one support facility for $248 million under long-term, triple-net lease agreements.
These, and certain other assets, were sold by Marathon Oil and will be leased to newly formed companies owned and operated by Northern Tier Energy, a portfolio company of ACON Investments and TPG Capital.
Realty Income acquired the 136 SuperAmerica properties under 15-year, triple-net lease agreements.
The stores are in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and average 3,500 leasable square feet on 1.14 acres.
In addition, the individual locations have, on average, 6.5 multi-pump gasoline dispensers, and are seasoned stores with long term operating histories. The stores are operationally strong with gallons sold and merchandise sales well above national averages, and strong cash-flow coverage of rent at the store levels.
With this acquisition, the company anticipates that the convenience store industry will now generate 20% of Realty Income's revenue going forward.
Including the SuperAmerica transaction, and other properties to be acquired in the fourth quarter, we now anticipate that acquisition activity should exceed $700 million for 2010," said Tom A. Lewis, CEO of Realty Income. "These acquisitions should contribute to the continued stable stream of lease revenue from which we pay monthly dividends."
