Consolidated Tomoka Announces the Acquisition of a Bank of America Ground Lease in Downtown Monterey, CA

August 18, 2016

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the acquisition of an approximately 33,000 square foot, single-tenant property (“Property”) in downtown Monterey, California for approximately $8.4 million, or approximately $258 per square foot. The Property is situated on 1.26 acres and is 100% leased to Bank of America with a remaining term of approximately 4.4 years. The lease allows for one 10-year renewal option in which the increase in rent will be determined by the percentage increase of the assessed land value of the property over the prior assessed value. The Property, which represents nearly an entire city block in Monterey, was built in 1982 as a build-to-suit for Bank of America. The transaction was part of a 1031 like-kind exchange utilizing proceeds from the Company’s recent disposition of the property in Lexington, North Carolina, that was leased to Lowe’s.

John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We completed this acquisition below our target cap rate guidance but at a rent level that is currently half of market which we believe provides an attractive long-term investment opportunity.” Mr. Albright further stated, “This acquisition continues our strategy to recycle non-core properties, such as the Lowe’s in Lexington, North Carolina, into larger markets with stronger demographics such as Monterey, California.”
