Read MoreHide Full Article

Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT - Free Report) recently announced the acquisition of a Red Robin property for $2.4 million from Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust , commonly known as “PREIT.” The move comes as part of its PREIT transaction previously announced in June 2022 for portfolio expansion.

Located in a strong retail corridor in Maryland, the property is likely to keep witnessing solid demand. It is occupied under a triple net lease to the corporate entity, with roughly four years of term remaining. The overall transaction was priced at a 6.5% going-in cash capitalization rate, excluding transaction costs.

Earlier in June, Four Corners announced that it signed a definitive agreement for the purchase of 11 outparcel properties from PREIT for $32.5 million. The retail outparcels are located within highly trafficked and populated corridors in Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.

The portfolio comprised eight single-tenant restaurant properties and three non-restaurant retail properties and each property has a separate, individual lease. The leases have a current weighted average residual term of roughly eight years. A large chunk of the portfolio is expected to be acquired in the second and third quarters of 2022.

Primarily engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurants and retail properties, Four Corners seeks potential acquisition opportunities to enhance its portfolio with real estate catering to the restaurant and retail industries. Recently, the company shelled out $2.2 million to acquire a DaVita Kidney Care property, which is positioned in a highly trafficked corridor in Kansas and occupied under a net lease to the corporate entity, with around seven years of term remaining.

Four Corners currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Shares of FCPT have declined 3.3% over the past three months compared with the industry’s decline of 16.6%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
