PLANS, DESCRIPTION:
American Realty Capital Properties Inc. purchased six Gulf Coast-area Red Lobsters restaurants as part of a larger acquisition of the seafood restaurant's sites nationwide. The firm purchased the Bradenton location for $5.89 million, two Tampa locations for $4.51 million and $2.96 million respectively, a Fort Myers location for $3.89 million and a Clearwater property for $3.34 million. The company also acquired a Red Lobster and an adjacent Olive Garden location in Port Charlotte for $10.12 million.

The purchase was done as part of American Realty Capital Properties' acquisition of more than 500 Red Lobster restaurant properties in a $1.5 billion sale-leaseback transaction. The transaction will be done in conjunction with Golden Gate Capital's acquisition of Red Lobster from Darden Restaurants Inc.

The overall purchase is reported to have a cash cap rate of 7.9% and a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) cap rate of 9.9%.

“We are extremely pleased to be acquiring these premium Red Lobster properties, located in key retail markets, with strong operating metrics and real estate fundamentals,” David S. Kay, president of American Realty Capital Properties, says in a press release. “With the built-in annual compounded rent growth, this transaction provides value to our shareholders and supports long-term earnings growth.”
