FELDMAN MALL PROPERTIES, INC. ADDS THE TALLAHASSEE MALL
IN TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA TO GROWING PORTFOLIO
JUNE 29, 2005 - GREAT NECK, NY -- Feldman Mall Properties, Inc. (NYSE: FMP), a
real estate investment trust focused on the renovation and repositioning of
retail shopping malls, today announced the acquisition of the Tallahassee Mall
(the "Mall"), a 963,000 square foot mall located in Tallahassee, the state
capital of Florida for $61.4 million.
The purchase price of $61.4 million includes the assumption of the existing
mortgage loan of approximately $45.3 million plus cash in the amount of
approximately $16.1 million. The property is subject to a long term ground lease
that expires in the year 2063 (assuming the exercise of an extension option).
The Company is acquiring all of the anchors and shops. The Mall's four major
anchor tenants are AMC Theaters, the only 20-screen stadium seating theater in
the Tallahassee market, Dillard's, Parisian and Burlington Coat Factory. In
addition, the Mall contains a remarkably strong roster of seven "big box" junior
anchor tenants: Old Navy, Sports Authority, Goody's, Ross Dress for Less, Shoe
Carnival, Barnes & Noble and Guitar Center.
Overall occupancy at the Tallahassee Mall is 96.8% including anchor tenants.
Excluding anchor tenants and excluding temporary tenants, the shop occupancy is
68.4%. Including temporary tenants, the shop occupancy is 84.8%. The sales
trends at Tallahassee Mall are positive with shop sales growing around 6% per
annum and averaging about $325 per square foot. The Company expects an initial
yield on its investment of approximately 7.9%, based upon the in-place operating
income for 2005.
Financing for the Tallahassee Mall was funded with proceeds from a six- month
first mortgage bridge loan financing collateralized by Colonie Center.
With the completion of this transaction, together with the anticipated closing
of the acquisition of the Northgate Mall, the Company's portfolio including
non-owned anchor tenants will consist of six regional malls aggregating
approximately 6.2 million square feet.
