January 22, 2025 16:10 ET  | Source: One Liberty Properties, Inc. – Base Rent from Our Industrial Portfolio Now Exceeds 72% of All Base Rent – – Closes on the Sale of Retail and Health & Fitness Properties for $23 Million and Will Realize Over $6.6 Million in Gains – GREAT NECK, New York, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), a real estate investment trust focused on net leased industrial properties, today announced the completion of the previously announced acquisition of two Class A industrial properties located in the Mobile, Alabama MSA, for $49 million. The two properties comprise an aggregate of 371,586 square feet and are located on approximately 31 acres. There are four tenants—Simpson Manufacturing (NYSE:SSD), Veyer LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The ODP Corporation (NASDAQ:ODP), Chadwell Supply, a supplier of materials for the multi-family industry, and DC Safety Sales Co., Inc, a supplier of safety equipment to various industries, including the automotive industry. The aggregate annual base rent is approximately $3.1 million, with approximate annual rental increases ranging from 2.3% to 3.5%, and a weighted average remaining lease term approaching seven years. OLP financed the acquisition with cash and a ten-year $29 million mortgage (interest only for five years and then amortizing on a 30-year schedule) bearing an interest rate of 6.12%. Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated, “This acquisition of two modern distribution centers in Mobile, Alabama marks a compelling start to the year. These premium industrial assets, secured with long-term leases and built-in annual escalators, not only deliver immediate cash flow accretion but also strengthen our foothold in a growing logistics hub in the Southeast. Mobile's emergence as an important link in the national supply chain, coupled with these modern facilities, positions us to capture the demand for modern industrial space while delivering sustained value to our stockholders.” The Class A warehouses were built in 2022 and 2023 and features ample clear height of 32’ to 36’, concrete tilt-wall construction, a total of 70 dock high loading doors, LED lighting and ESFR sprinklers. The properties are located in Theodore, AL, which is part of the Mobile MSA. The properties are adjacent to Interstate-10, one of the largest interstate highways in the country, stretching East-West from California to Florida. Mobile is a growing Southeast distribution hub due to its strategic location as a deep port on the Gulf of Mexico.
