Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (NYSE: UBA and UBP) announced today that
it has completed the purchase of the Bernards Square Medical Office
Building in Bernardsville, NJ and the Clockwork Childcare Center in
Chester, NJ for a combined purchase price of $6.45 million, excluding
closing costs. Both properties were purchased free and clear of
mortgages. The $6.45 million acquisition was funded with proceeds from
the Company's recently completed stock offerings. The Bernards Square
Medical Office Building, located in affluent Bernardsville, New Jersey,
in the County of Somerset contains 14,592 square feet of leasable space.
The building is 76% leased primarily to doctors and other professionals.
The Clockwork Child Care Center located in the affluent community of
Chester, NJ, in the County of Morris contains a 9,120 square foot free
standing child care facility net leased to a provider that has multiple
locations in and around New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The
purchase of these two properties was part of a portfolio of three
properties owned by a local family. The remaining property is a grocery
anchored shopping center in the Company's core market place. The closing
of the shopping center property is expected within ninety days. The two
phased closing was due to the need for lender approval of the transfer
of the shopping center property.
Willing Biddle, President of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc said, "We are
very pleased to continue the process of investing the capital we
recently raised in Class A Common stock and preferred stock offerings
into income producing properties. The Company was able to purchase two
stable properties at attractive cap rates and expects to acquire another
grocery anchored shopping center in our core marketplace in the near
future. The Company hopes to continue this acquisition momentum with the
purchase of additional shopping centers in the very near future in order
to invest the remaining capital raised from the recent stock offerings."
