Four Corners (FCPT) Acquires Buffalo Wild Wings Properties
Read MoreHide Full Article
Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT - Free Report) recently shelled out $10.2 million to acquire two Buffalo Wild Wings properties. The move came as part of its portfolio-expansion efforts, with real estate leased to strong credit operators.
Located in strong retail corridors in New Jersey, the franchisee-operated properties are likely to generate steady revenues over the long term. The properties are occupied under a triple net master lease with 20 years of residual term and annual rent hikes of 2%. The buyout seems to be a strategic fit for FCPT at a 6.4% cap rate on rent as of the closing date, exclusive of transaction costs.
Four Corners has been on an acquisition spree. Apart from the recent acquisitions, it recently acquired a portfolio of three properties from Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PEI), commonly known as “PREIT”, for $8.5 million.
Located in a strong retail corridor in Maryland, the three properties — Miller’s Ale House, Olive Garden and Outback Steakhouse — are likely to keep witnessing solid demand. The properties are occupied under triple-net ground leases with a weighted average residual term of roughly eight years. The overall transaction was priced at a cap rate in the range of the company’s previous transactions.
Simultaneously with the Maryland acquisitions, the company announced that it shelled out $6.5 million to acquire a Circle K property and a Firestone property. The properties are positioned in a highly trafficked corridor in Illinois and occupied under long-term, triple-net leases with a weighted average of five years of term remaining.
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. In the second quarter of 2022, FCPT acquired 26 properties for a combined purchase price of $54 million at an initial-weighted average cash yield of 6.4%.
Apart from the abovementioned acquisitions, the company made several other property purchases in the third quarter, including the acquisition of a six-property outparcel portfolio for $14 million.
Some key picks from the REIT sector include Extra Space Storage Inc. (EXR - Free Report) and Terreno Realty Corporation (TRNO - Free Report) .
Extra Space Storage presently carries a Zacks Rank of 2 (Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EXR’s 2022 FFO per share has moved marginally upward in the past week to $8.49. Extra Space Storage’s long-term growth rate is projected at 8.7%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Terreno Realty’s 2022 FFO per share has moved marginally upward in the past two months to $1.93. TRNO presently carries a Zacks Rank of 2.
Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents funds from operations (FFO) — a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.
