NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE:LXP), a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on single-tenant real estate investments, today announced it has closed on a previously announced acquisition of an approximately 190,000 square foot industrial facility located in Detroit, Michigan. Lexington purchased the property for $29.7 million, with both initial cash and estimated GAAP yields of 7.4%.
Built in 2015, the property is 100% net leased to FCA US LLC (formerly known as Chrysler Group LLC) (“FCA”) for an initial 20-year lease term. FCA, one of the largest automakers in the world, holds a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of BB- with a stable outlook. The property is located in the Detroit area near FCA’s corporate headquarters and is the main logistics center for receiving and shipping just-in-time parts (only arrive as needed) to various plants in Michigan, Ohio and Ontario. Additionally, the property has convenient access to Interstate Highways 75/94/96, a major airport and port, an international crossing, and several rail carriers.
“Our most recent industrial acquisition is an excellent fit for our portfolio as it further supports our investment strategy of acquiring high-quality properties with long-term leases in prime strategic locations,” commented T. Wilson Eglin, Chief Executive Officer and President of Lexington. “The automotive sector, which represents more than 10% of our revenue, continues to be a strong performer, and we are pleased to add a major player from the industry like FCA to our roster of corporate tenants.”
