Item 5. Other Events
ACQUISITION OF CARRIAGE CLUB APARTMENTS
Effective June 29, 2004, BNP Residential Properties acquired Carriage
Club Apartments located in Mooresville, North Carolina. We acquired this
community from Carriage Club at Bluefield Downs LLC, an unaffiliated party, for
a contract price of $19,650,000, paid in cash.
The 22.5-acre property consists of 268 one-, two-, and three-bedroom
apartment homes. The property also includes a swimming pool, exercise facility
and tennis court. At the acquisition date, physical occupancy was approximately
94%, with an average base rental rate on occupied units of approximately $680
per month. We expect to spend approximately $200,000 for acquisition
improvements at this community during the next 12 to 24 months.
We funded the Carriage Club acquisition by the placement of a $14.9
million first deed of trust loan from Wachovia Bank, N.A. at a fixed rate of
5.15% for a five-year term, along with a draw on our line of credit secured by
Latitudes Apartments.
ACQUISITION OF SAVANNAH SHORES APARTMENTS
Effective July 1, 2004, we acquired Savannah Shores Apartments located
in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We acquired this community from CGY Properties
LLC, two members of which are members of our Board of Directors. Prior to this
transaction, we managed the acquired property under a third-party management
contract.
The initial purchase price is $12.5 million, including:
o the assumption of approximately $12.4 million in debt and other
liabilities; and
o the issuance of 7,695 partnership units in BNP Residential
Properties Limited Partnership, which we refer to as the Operating
Partnership. The imputed value of these partnership units was $13.00
per unit, or approximately $100,000.
There is the potential for an earn-out of additional purchase price of up to
$1.7 million within a three-year period, upon attainment of certain performance
standards, which would be funded through the issuance of up to 130,769 units of
the Company's operating partnership at an imputed value of $13.00 per unit.
On July 1, 2004, we refinanced the existing $12.1 million debt through
the placement of a $9.0 million first deed of trust loan from SouthTrust Bank,
at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.8% for a three-year term with a two-year
extension, along with a draw on our line of credit secured by Latitudes
Apartments.
The 13.1-acre property consists of 198 one-, two-, and three-bedroom
apartment homes. It also includes a swimming pool, tennis courts and exercise
facility. At the acquisition date, physical occupancy was approximately 94%,
with an average base rental rate on occupied units of approximately $727 per
month. We expect to spend approximately $200,000 for acquisition improvements at
this community during the next 12 to 24 months.
BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust
focused on owning and operating apartment communities. Following these
acquisitions, BNP now owns and operates 23
2
apartment communities containing 5,671 apartments and provides third-party
