Post Properties Announces Sale of New York City Communities
Atlanta, Tuesday, September 23, 2014 - Post Properties, Inc. (NYSE: PPS) announced today that it has closed the sale of its
Post Luminaria™ and Post Toscana™ apartment communities, located in New York, NY, for a total gross sales price of $270 million.
Post Luminaria™ was completed in 2002, and contains 138 apartment units and approximately 9,400 square feet of retail space. Post Luminaria™ was owned in a consolidated joint venture in which
the Company held a 68% interest. Post Toscana™ was completed in 2003 and contains 199 apartment units and approximately 11,700 square feet of retail space. The buyer was not disclosed. Eastdil Secured acted as broker on the transaction.
A portion of the net proceeds from the sales were used to prepay approximately $82.6 million of secured mortgage indebtedness
encumbering the assets and related prepayment premiums totaling approximately $13.0 million. After closing costs and expenses, debt prepayments and distributions of the Company's share of the net proceeds received from the sale of Post
Luminaria™, Post expects to retain approximately $141 million of net cash proceeds from the sales of the two communities.
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company expects to report a net gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $127 million, or
approximately $2.33 per diluted share, and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $12.3 million, or approximately $0.23 per diluted share, relating to debt prepayment premiums paid and the write off of unamortized deferred
financing costs, each net of non-controlling interests in the Post Luminaria™ joint venture.
