Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. (SKT)
recently announced that it has bought a popular outlet center
located near Interstate 81 in Hershey, Pennsylvania for $56.0
million. The combined acquisition price consists of approximately
$24.6 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $31.4
million in debt.
The newly acquired center will be rebranded as Tanger Outlets
Hershey. The center spans approximately 248,000 square feet of
space and comprises mostly designer outlets and branded stores. The
strategic location of the center coupled with the high quality
stores offer a lucrative investment opportunity and should generate
attractive returns to Tanger's shareholders.
We believe the transaction will be accretive for the company as
it will enhance the quality of its portfolio. This deal marks the
company’s fourth acquisition in the current year, thus increasing
Tanger’s portfolio by approximately 1.3 million square feet.
Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, Tanger is a
publicly-traded real estate investment trust (REIT). The company,
through its subsidiary, Tanger Properties Limited Partnership,
engages in acquiring, developing, owning, operating, and managing
factory outlet shopping centers.
With the closing of this transaction, the company will operate
and own a portfolio of 38 upscale outlet shopping centers in 25
states, totaling approximately 11.6 million square feet, leased to
over 2,400 stores that are operated by more than 415 different
branded companies.
Tanger currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into
a short-term Hold rating. We are also maintaining our long-term
Neutral recommendation on the stock. One of its competitors,
General Growth Properties Inc (GGP) also has a
Zacks #3 Rank.
