Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 18, 2011, the board of directors of American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. (the "Company") approved the acquisition of a portfolio of four retail condominiums (the "Washington Street Portfolio") located on 416-424 Washington Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. On April 27, 2011, the Company, through its sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with AA Olympic, LLC to acquire the Washington Street Portfolio. The Company's obligations under the purchase agreement were subject to the satisfactory completion of its due diligence review, along with the formation of individual condominium units for each retail space, among other conditions. The Company acquired the Washington Street Portfolio through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of its operating partnership on November 3, 2011 at a purchase price of $9.86 million, exclusive of closing costs. The seller has no material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.
The Company acquired a fee-simple interest in the Washington Street Portfolio, which consists of four retail condominiums containing a total of approximately 24,000 rentable square feet, including an approximately 15,000 square foot parking garage and an approximately 1,750 square foot storage basement. Each condominium is leased to one of the following tenants: a parking garage, a wine shop, a men's lifestyle club and a luxury condominium builder. The condominiums are situated on Washington Street at its intersection with Laight Street. Annual rental rates currently range from approximately $25.72 to $61.31 per square foot with a weighted average annual rental rate of $40.35 per square foot. In addition, the wine store tenant's month to month rental rate for basement storage space is $8.23 per square foot. Each lease comprises 100% of the total leasable space of the particular condominium leased. The four leases have maturities ranging from 2015 to 2030.
The Company funded the acquisition, excluding acquisition costs, of the property with (a) net proceeds from its ongoing offering of approximately $4.86 million and (b) a $5.0 million mortgage loan received from New York Community Bank. A description of the terms of the mortgage loan is included in Item 2.03 — Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On November 3, 2011, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of its operating partnership, incurred a $5.0 million mortgage loan in connection with its acquisition of the Washington Street Portfolio. The mortgage loan was received from New York Community Bank.
The mortgage loan will bear interest at a per annum fixed rate of 4.375% during the first five years and thereafter will adjust annually to prime plus a margin of 2.75%. The mortgage loan will mature in December 2021. Payments of principal will be made on a 30-year amortization schedule, with all principal outstanding being repaid on the maturity date. The mortgage loan is nonrecourse and may be accelerated only upon the event of a default. The mortgage loan may be prepaid through defeasance. The mortgage loan may be prepaid from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, subject to a premium equal to: (a) 5% in respect of a prepayment made prior to November 30, 2012; (b) thereafter, 4% in respect of any prepayment made prior to November 30, 2013; (c) thereafter, 3% in respect of a prepayment made prior to November 30, 2014; and (d) thereafter, 1% in respect of a prepayment made prior to August 31, 2016.
