Asset Acquisition

C20 Controlled Subsidiary – Alexandria, VA

On March 9, 2020, we directly acquired ownership of a “wholly-owned subsidiary”, C20 (the “C20 Controlled Subsidiary”), for an initial purchase price of approximately $35,880,000, which is the initial stated value of our equity interest in the C20 Controlled Subsidiary (the “C20 Investment”). The C20 Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds to close on the acquisition of three buildings situated on an approximately 13 acre site (the “C20 Property”). The C20 Property includes a two story Class B office building, a retail strip center, and an industrial/flex building totaling approximately 290,000 gross square feet and approximately 252,000 net rentable square feet. We anticipate the property will have future redevelopment potential of more than 3,000,000 developable square feet of density based on the approval of the 2019 Eisenhower East Small Area Plan by the City of Alexandria, VA City Council. The closing of both the C20 Investment and the C20 Property occurred concurrently.

The C20 Controlled Subsidiary is managed by us.

Pursuant to the agreements governing the C20 Investment, we have full authority for the management of the C20 Controlled Subsidiary, including the C20 Property. In addition, an affiliate of our sponsor earned an acquisition fee of approximately 2.0% of the C20 Investment, paid directly by the C20 Controlled Subsidiary.

The total acquisition price of the C20 Property is approximately $74,380,000, including the acquisition fee of approximately $686,000, legal fees, and miscellaneous closing costs. Simultaneous with the closing of the C20 Investment, senior financing was provided through a $38,500,000 loan from Citizens Bank (the “C20 Senior Loan”). The loan features a 5-year term and 5 years interest-only at a floating rate of 1.50% over LIBOR. At closing, C20 entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Citizens Bank at a fixed rate of 0.7075% plus a 1.50% spread for a total fixed rate of approximately 2.21% over the initial term. The C20 Senior Loan features a loan to value ratio, or LTV ratio, of approximately 51.0% based on the third party appraised value of $75,000,000, as of January 2020. The LTV ratio is the amount of the C20 Senior Loan, divided by the third party appraised value of the C20 Property. There can be no assurance that the LTV ratio will not vary at points over the course of ownership.

As of March 3, 2020, the C20 Property was approximately 94% occupied. 

The C20 Property is located in the Carlyle District of Alexandria, VA. The area includes a vibrant complex of office, apartment, hotel and retail uses, including the US Patent and Trade Office Headquarters, an 11-building complex housing over 10,000 employees, which sits directly across the street from the C20 Property. The National Science Foundation headquarters, located approximately two blocks away, was completed in 2017 and currently employs approximately 2,100 employees. The C20 Property is within a five-minute walk to the Eisenhower Avenue Metrorail station and four stops from Amazon’s HQ2. 

The following table contains performance assumptions and projections. Individual assumptions and projected returns are presented at the asset level.
