Devonshire REIT Announces Acquisition of Dollar Tree Anchored Shopping Center in Michigan

WHITEHOUSE, Ohio, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Devonshire REIT, Inc. has closed on South Haven Shopping Center, a Dollar Tree and Dunham's Sports co-anchored shopping center in South Haven, MI. The property contains 40,040 square feet and is 100% leased. FirstMerit Bank, a division of FirstMerit Corporation, provided the financing.

Chris Campbell, President and CEO of Devonshire said, "This acquisition continues our overall strategy of buying cash-flowing value-oriented triple-net properties in non-major markets, and is a great deal for us because with the purchase we achieved several things:

1. We added a property that is a perfect fit for our current portfolio,
2. With significant positive cash flow,
3. At an 11% cap rate,
4. That is accretive to overall value, and
5. Established a relationship with FirstMerit Bank."

Mike Denman, Executive Vice President of Real Estate Operations, added, "The center is in a prime location at the intersection of the major east-west and north-south traffic corridors through South Haven and across from a Walmart and a new Meijer Supermarket. That, along with a great price, high cash flow, and long term leases with both anchor tenants, made this an easy decision."

Dollar Tree, Inc. is a Fortune 500 company and is the leading operator of single-price-point variety stores in the country with over 70,000 employees at 4,763 stores in 48 states and Canada, and $7B in annual sales.
