The deal is valued at about $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase price reportedly represents a GAAP cap rate of 9.9 percent and a cash cap rate of 7.9 percent. About 93.5 percent of the portfolio\u2019s leases will be structured with a 25-year initial term and the remainder (constituting leasehold assets) will have a weighted average 18.7-year initial term. The portfolio master leases will also include 2 percent annual contractual rent escalations.<\/p>\n<p>ARCP\u2019s announcement characterized the Red Lobster properties as \u201chigh-quality real estate located at main intersections in strong markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also noted that once this transaction closes, ARCP will have achieved its $3 billion 2014 acquisition target well ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs corporate America continues to sell its owned real estate, our team has shown its strength in seizing these opportunities, evidenced by this deal, and due largely to our inherent advantage as the largest net lease REIT,\u201d Nicholas Schorsch, CEO &amp; executive chairman of ARCP, said in a release.<\/p>\n<p>(Since 2011, retail sale-leaseback activity has been generally on the upswing, according to figures from Real Capital Analytics. Deals of $2.5 million and up totaled about $1.4 billion in 2011, $1.8 billion in 2012 and $1.3 billion in 2013, with about $649 million in retail sale-leasebacks through May 1 of this year.)<\/p>\n<p>The deal gives ARCP \u201clong-term flexibility through an acquisition structure highlighted by multiple homogenous lease pools, supported by the protection of master leases,\u201d Lisa Beeson, COO of ARCP, said in the release.<\/p>\n<p>She added that GGC, a San Francisco-based private investment firm, has $12 billion of AUM and is \u201cone of the most active investors in multi-unit consumer companies and casual dining restaurants, having acquired leading brands such as California Pizza Kitchen, Payless ShoeSource and Eddie Bauer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the widespread view that casual dining is in trouble, Garrick Brown, director of research for Cassidy Turley, told <i>Commercial Property Executive <\/i>that the deal nonetheless has a good shot at being a win for all three parties and called it a \u201cgenius move\u201d for GGC. \u201cI think their play is that they\u2019re going to focus on this one brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown believes there\u2019s much less risk in the deal than the 7.9 percent cap suggests, because Red Lobster is in better shape than many other casual chains, such as T.G.I. Friday\u2019s. Red Lobster\u2019s traffic numbers are \u201crock solid,\u201d he said, and the average check is much higher than at Darden\u2019s cash cow, Olive Garden.<\/p>\n<p>He also suggests that although Darden treats both Olive Garden and Red Lobster as casual-dining chains, it might make sense to see the latter as not the high-end of the casual-dining spectrum, but as the lowest-end upscale dining chain, with the potential to raise its prices a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of Golden Gate Capital\u2019s acquisition of the Red Lobster chain from Darden Restaurants, American Realty Capital Properties will buy more than 500 Red Lobster restaurant properties and lease them back to GGC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004036963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21783,21742,21749],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004096732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investment","category-latest","category-retail"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
