Key Takeaways

  • Four Corners Property Trust bought a Patient First Urgent Care site in Pennsylvania for $6.6M.
  • The property is corporate-operated under a long-term triple-net lease at a market-aligned cap rate.
  • FCPT also acquired Bojangles and Burger King sites as part of its expansion strategy this month.

Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT - Free Report) recently announced the acquisition of a Patient First Urgent Care property for $6.6 million. The move highlights the company’s expansionary and diversification efforts, aiding stable revenue generation.

The property is located in a strong retail corridor in Pennsylvania. Priced at a cap rate in line with the company’s previous transactions, the property is corporate-operated under a long-term triple-net lease.

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 month, FCPT announced the acquisition of a Bojangles property for $2.2 million. It also acquired four Burger King properties through a sale-leaseback for $8.1 million from Ampler Restaurant Group.

The above purchases fall in line with Four Corners’ strategy of structuring a portfolio that will withstand varied economic cycles. However, the company’s expansion may face potential headwinds in a high-interest-rate environment, which could keep its borrowing costs elevated.
