Preferred Apartment (APTS) Inks 15-Year Lease Deal in Atlanta
Read MoreHide Full Article
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. recently inked a new 15-year lease with Hapag-Lloyd for roughly five floors and 127,000 square feet at its Three Ravinia office building in Atlanta. With this, the property is now nearly 94% leased and has an average weighted lease term of more than nine years.
Hapag-Lloyd, a liner shipping company, will likely create approximately 250 new jobs in the region over the next several years by establishing its new office at Three Ravinia. The initial occupancy is expected in the third quarter of 2022.
Three Ravinia is advantageously located in the central perimeter market of Atlanta, GA and offers a Class A office environment. Moreover, by enhancing transportation infrastructure within 2022, the property will lure more tenants.
Per Joel Murphy, Preferred Apartment’s chairman and chief executive officer, "This significant long-term lease further diversifies our already high-quality tenant base, creates material additional cash flows and enhances the value of this Class A asset.”
Some other stocks worth considering from the REIT sector are AvalonBay Communities (AVB - Free Report) , Camden Property Trust (CPT - Free Report) and Equity Residential (EQR - Free Report) .
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AvalonBay’s 2021 FFO per share has been raised marginally over the past week. AVB’s 2021 fund from operations (FFO) per share are expected to increase 10.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
