Alpine Income (PINE) Grabs Two Single-Tenant Net Leased Assets

Read MoreHide Full Article

Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (PINE - Free Report) has been eyeing the expansion of its portfolio of single-tenant net leased properties on the back of acquisitions. In line with such efforts, the company recently announced the purchase of two single-tenant, net-leased properties for an aggregate purchase price of $15.4 million.

The properties are net leased to Walgreens and Kohl. The transactions were completed with a weighted average going-in cap rate of 7.1%. The properties have 9.3 years remaining on the initial lease term. This along with the investment-grade rating of both tenants suggests that the company will enjoy a steady stream of rental revenues over the long term.

Both properties are located in strategic submarkets, with impressive demographics.  Specifically, the property rented out to Kohl’s is situated in Glendale, AZ, and gains from a population of 120,000 people in a 3-mile radius with an average household income of $89,000 and a busy West Bell Road retail corridor that sees more than 45,000 vehicles per day.

Moreover, the space rented to Walgreens is placed at a busy intersection in the Seattle submarket of Tacoma, WA, which witnesses around 40,000 cars per day. The location of the properties in busy neighborhoods indicates that the assets are likely to enjoy strong footfall.

Notably, this year, Alpine Income purchased 29 single-tenant, net-leased properties for $116.6 million, which had a weighted average going-in cash cap rate of 6.9%. Through such aggressive acquisitions, the company surpassed its previous acquisition guidance of $110 million for 2020.

Moreover, such moves have enabled it to expand its portfolio and geographic footprint to 48 properties across 34 markets and 18 states. Such inorganic growth efforts are a strategic fit and will drive the top line over the long haul.

Moreover, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have lost 23.9% over the past year, wider than the industry’s decline of 4.6%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
