On April 6, 2023, we directly acquired ownership of a “majority-owned subsidiary” FRIND-Cubes, LLC (the “Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary”) for an initial purchase price of approximately $2,466,160 which is the initial stated value of our equity interest in the Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary (the “Cubes at Glendale Building E East Coast Opportunistic REIT Investment”). Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC acquired ownership of the remaining equity interest in the new investment round in the Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary for an initial purchase price of approximately $22,195,440 (the “Cubes at Glendale Building E Interval Fund Investment” and, together with the Cubes at Glendale Building E East Coast Opportunistic REIT Investment, the “Cubes at Glendale Building E Investment”). The Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds of the Cubes at Glendale Building E Investment to acquire an industrial building containing approximately 570,080 square feet of net rentable area on an approximately 33-acre site located at 7421 Reems Road, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 (the “Cubes at Glendale Building E Property”). The initial Cubes at Glendale Building E East Coast Opportunistic REIT Investment was funded with proceeds from our Offering, and the closing of the initial Cubes at Glendale Building E Investment and the Cubes at Glendale Building E Property occurred concurrently.

 

The Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary is managed by us.

 

Pursuant to the agreements governing the Cubes at Glendale Building E East Coast Opportunistic REIT Investment, we have full authority for the management of the Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary, including the Cubes at Glendale Building E Property. In addition, an affiliate of our sponsor earned an acquisition fee of approximately 1.0% of the total Cubes at Glendale Building E Property purchase price, paid directly by the Cubes at Glendale Building E Controlled Subsidiary.

 

The total purchase price for the Cubes at Glendale Building E Property was approximately $82,662,000, or approximately $145 per rentable square foot.

To finance the acquisition of the Cubes at Glendale Building E Property, we secured a $58,000,000 senior loan with PIMCO with a two year term and a floating interest rate benchmarked at SOFR + 4.0%. Additional financing may be pursued at a later date.

 

The Cubes at Glendale Building E Property was delivered in 2023. The property is currently vacant. We have budgeted for lease up costs and tenant improvement expenses estimating a tenant move in date of early 2024. Professional third party property management will be installed to manage the Cubes at Glendale Building E Property.

 

The Cubes at Glendale Building E Property is located on approximately 33 acres of improved land at Cubes at Glendale Building E Drive, Litchfield Park, AZ, in Maricopa County.
