Key Takeaways
FCPT acquires portfolio of automotive service properties from VIVE Collision for $4.7M via sale-leaseback.
The properties in Maine and Vermont are on long-term triple net leases with around 20 years remaining.
The transaction capitalization rate was aligned with previous FCPT deals.
Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT - Free Report) recently acquired a portfolio of automotive service properties through a sale-leaseback for $4.7 million from VIVE Collision. This acquisition highlights the company’s expansionary and diversification efforts, which will aid future revenue growth.
VIVE Collision manages more than 60 locations across nine states in the Northeast, focusing on advanced repair skills, technician development and high-quality service.
The properties are located in strong retail corridors in Maine and Vermont. The properties are corporate-operated under long-term, triple net leases with approximately 20 years of term remaining. The transaction was priced at a cap rate that was in line with prior FCPT transactions.
FCPT: In a Snapshot
This real estate investment trust (REIT), mainly engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties, has a track record of acquisitions.
This week, FCPT announced the acquisition of an Olive Garden property for $4.1 million. Last week, the company acquired the Tires Plus property for $1.7 million and an automotive service property for $5.8 million.
The above purchases fall in line with FCPT’s strategy of structuring a portfolio that will withstand varied economic cycles. However, the company’s expansion may face potential headwinds in an elevated interest-rate environment, which could keep its borrowing costs high.
In the past six months, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 3.2% compared with the industry's increase of 5.4%.
