Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Purchase of Metropolitan Phoenix Office Building. On November 19, 2001, we
completed the acquisition of the Arrowhead Fountains Office Building (the
"Acquired Building"). The Acquired Building is located in suburban Phoenix,
Arizona and contains approximately 96,000 net rentable square feet and is
located on approximately 5 acres of land. The aggregate purchase price for the
Acquired Building was $12,750,000, which was paid by the assumption of the
mortgage loan from Nationwide Life Insurance Company (the "Nationwide Life
Insurance Company Loan") with a principal balance of $9,300,000 and the balance
from a portion of the proceeds of our late July 2001 public offering.
The Acquired Building was purchased from Arrowhead Fountains Partners, LLC (the
"Seller"), an unrelated third party. The purchase price of the Acquired Building
was determined through negotiations between the Seller and us.
The Nationwide Life Insurance Company Loan bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus
190 basis points and matures on December 5, 2003.
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.
Additional information concerning this transaction and the Acquired Building is
contained in our press release dated November 20, 2001, a copy of which is
attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
