FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp.
Exhibit 99.1
FSP 00 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Corp.
FSP 00 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Corp. (the “Company”) owns and operates a 12-story, multi-tenant Class “A” building containing approximately 486,000 square feet of office and retail space located in the Central Business District (“CBD”) of Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the third quarter of 2011, a retail lease for approximately 1,000 square feet expired, reducing occupancy by 0.2% to 98.6%. Management is already in discussions with a prospective tenant for the space and hopes to have it re-leased before year end.
According to CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“CBRE”), Class “A” office vacancy rates and average net asking rents in the third quarter of 2011 were approximately 15.06% and $13.20 per square foot, respectively, relatively unchanged from the previous year. Additionally, CBRE believes that, absent any increase in new jobs, the downtown Minneapolis office market will continue to record only small advances in absorption, with significant performance disparities between building classes. To date, the winners of these small absorption gains have been recorded by Class “A” buildings, where for the seventh consecutive quarter, tenants’ “flight to quality” resulted in positive absorption for the Class “A” market, with the overall absorption rate being offset by negative absorption in Class “B” & “C” properties. Management believes that, with its current occupancy level of 98.6% and its prominent location within the CBD, the property is well positioned in the Class “A” market. Management will continue to monitor market activity and track trends as part of its efforts to keep the property in the strongest possible position in the market.
On January 1, 2012, a $76.2 million first mortgage CMBS loan secured by the property will mature and become due and payable in full at that time. Management has been actively working on a number of potential options for the Company to deal with this loan maturity and will keep shareholders informed as to our decisions and course of action. A major factor in any potential plan for the property is the fact that Target Corp., through a sublease, leases approximately 215,838 square feet expiring March 31, 2014 and, through a direct lease, leases approximately 43,506 square feet expiring June 30, 2015. Together this square footage totals approximately 53% of total rentable square feet at the property. Because the expiration of Target's leased space is so significant and relatively near-term (i.e., 2 1/4 and 3 1/2 years, respectively, from the maturity date of the $76.2 million loan), options for a potential longer-term refinancing of the maturing loan may be limited.
In addition to working on potential refinancing options for the property, management has also begun discussions with Target regarding an extension of its lease at the property. In light of the imminent loan maturity and the ongoing discussions with Target, management believes that it is prudent to build reserves for a refinancing and for potential future leasing. Consequently, the Company’s Board of Directors has decided to suspend dividend distributions until such time that the property’s long-term financial future becomes clearer.
