Sale-Leaseback Assets Ultimately Purchased by Publicly Traded REIT

Calkain Companies, Inc., a national net lease real estate investment brokerage firm, procured the transaction for a twelve (12) property, eight (8) state industrial portfolio that is leased to one of the nation’s largest environmental services companies. The transaction was completed as part of a sale-leaseback where, through the recent acquisition of the Operator’s largest competitor, twelve properties that were ultimately included in the Company’s overall acquisition, were simultaneously sold to and leased back from Realty Income (NYSE: O) in Escondido, CA. Specific financial details of the over 300,000 square foot transaction are unavailable due to a confidentiality agreement between parties.

David Sobelman, Calkain’s Executive Vice President and Doug Wright, Director of Calkain’s Industrial Division represented the private equity firm that managed the operational transaction. Sobelman commented, "This transaction symbolizes the direction and creditability of the triple net lease investment market. Companies are again able to immediately monetize their real estate in an effort to use that newly found capital in other areas of their business. The size of the transaction, coupled with the twenty year lease term, made this an attractive asset to a plethora of institutional buyers throughout the country."

Calkain was honored to have been chosen as the exclusive representative for these assets.
