DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the disposition of two of its non-core income properties, along with the execution of a long-term lease with a national fitness center for the anchor space at The Grove at Winter Park retail center.

On April 5, 2016, the Company sold its income property leased to American Signature Furniture located in Daytona Beach, Florida, which had 3.8 years remaining on the lease, for a sales price of approximately $5.2 million, reflecting an exit cap rate near the top end of our guidance. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this sale as part of a Section 1031 like-kind exchange for the single tenant office property in Raleigh, North Carolina that is leased to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Company’s estimated gain on the sale is approximately $0.2 million, or $0.02 per share after tax.

On April 6, 2016, the Company sold its income property leased to an affiliate of CVS, located in Sebring, Florida, which was sub-leased to Advanced Auto Parts and had approximately 3.1 years remaining on the lease, for a sales price of approximately $2.4 million, reflecting an exit cap rate above our guidance. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this sale as part of a Section 1031 like-kind exchange for the single tenant office property in Raleigh, North Carolina that is leased to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Company’s estimated loss on the sale is approximately $0.2 million, or $0.02 per share after tax.

On April 5, 2016, the Company also entered into a 15 year lease with a national fitness center for the anchor space at The Grove at Winter Park located in Winter Park, Florida. The lease is for approximately 40,000 square feet, or 36%, of the 112,000 square foot multi-tenant retail center. The Company has committed to fund customary tenant improvements for the fitness center, which could open as early as the fourth quarter of 2016.

John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We are pleased to complete these dispositions enabling us to continue to improve the overall quality of our income property portfolio.” Mr. Albright further noted, “With the completion of these dispositions we have approximately $20.8 million in restricted cash that upon the completion of the 1031 transaction related to the acquisition of the Raleigh property would become unrestricted, which we expect to occur in May 2016.” Mr. Albright also noted, “Regarding the Grove at Winter Park, we are pleased to have signed a national fitness center tenant as an anchor tenant and we are currently in negotiations with other retailers for additional space as we continue our repositioning of this opportunistic investment.”
