“We are pleased to announce the sale of our Monroe, North Carolina facility to our Tenant, Charlotte Pipe and Foundry. Our net sales proceeds of $8.8 million less our current carrying book value of $3.8 million will result in a realized gain of $5.0 million representing a 57 percent gain over our original cost basis and a 132 percent gain over our current depreciated GAAP basis,” said Michael P. Landy, president & CEO of Monmouth.

Monmouth acquired the property in 2001 and it has a historic cost basis of $5.6 million and a current net book value of $3.8 million. The company plans to redeploy the capital generated from this disposition into our large acquisition pipeline, which currently stands at 2.7 million square feet of new built-to-suit properties currently under construction.
