<br />
The panel description is as follows: Single tenant, net leased properties have always been a large part of the shopping center community as ancillary income for landlords in order to take advantage of outparcels or excess land. However, this niche property type is currently one of the nation&apos;s most appealing investments, real estate or otherwise, as its fundamental simplicity has been acknowledged by tenants, developers, brokers, private investors as well as institutional owners. No longer do professionals deem single tenant assets to be a fringe investment as an entire industry has been focused on this property type for decades. The audience of this panel discussion will be able to hear from today&apos;s foremost authorities on tenant trends, developer issues and investor demand. This will be the only discussion at RECon that focuses solely on the single tenant, triple net leased property type.<br />

TCF Bank is the sole occupant of the 4,500 square foot retail building that was developed in 2007. The property is located on a 1.01 acre parcel within Cedar Point Commons, a Target and Home Depot anchored shopping center. Cedar Point Commons is located off Highway 77 at the intersection of 66th Street and Richfield Parkway. The property is located approximately two miles north of the Mall of America and an IKEA in a dense area with over 300,000 people living within five miles of the property. There are high barriers to entry in the area as the land directly across Highway 77 is used for the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. The lease had fifteen years remaining at the time of sale and features multiple rental escalations in the primary term.<br />
<br />
TCF Bank is an investment grade rated company with a Standard &amp; Poor&apos;s rating of BBB- and has over 430 locations. TCF Bank has fifteen years of lease term remaining on an original twenty year triple net ground lease.

<br />
Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller; a Midwest based private developer. The buyer was a West Coast based family trust.<br />
<br />
"The market for bank ground leases with investment grade tenants remains strong as investors are attracted to the typical long term leases with rental escalations." said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.  Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, "Core market single tenant assets with solid real estate fundamentals continue to be in the greatest demand." <br />
