Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Purchase of Colorado Office Building. On December 21, 2001, we completed the
acquisition of the Kellogg Office Building (the "Acquired Building"). The
Acquired Building is located in Littleton, Colorado and contains approximately
113,000 rentable square feet and is located on approximately 5 acres of land.
The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Building was $13,550,000, which
was paid with $9,500,000 from the proceeds of a loan from US Bank National
Association (the "US Bank Loan") and the balance from a portion of the proceeds
of our late July 2001 public offering.
The Acquired Building was purchased from WXI/MCN Commercial Real Estate L.P.
(the "Seller"), an unrelated party. The purchase price of the Acquired Building
was determined through negotiations between the Seller and us.
The US Bank Loan bears interest at a rate of 4.77% for the initial 12 months and
matures on December 21, 2004. After the initial 12 months, the rate floats on
one of three indices elected by us, provided by US Bank, plus 250 basis points.
The Acquired Building will be managed by Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC under the
terms of the Advisory Agreement between Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC and us
dated December 22, 1999 and revised and restated as of March 12, 2001. Effective
January 1, 2002, however, we will assume the management functions of this and
all other properties previously managed by Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC as
described in our press release dated December 14, 2001 that was included as
Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on December 21, 2001.
Additional information concerning this transaction and the Acquired Building is
contained in our press release dated December 26, 2001, a copy of which is
attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
