PORTFOLIO UPDATE

6000 Nathan Lane Plymouth (Minneapolis), Minnesota
5-story, Class-A office building.
Currently 45% leased. In October 2009, we signed a lease renewal with Brocade Communications |
was 137,000 square feet, a slight moderation from the second quarter. Asking rental rates stabilized with a slight increase from the second quarter, from $12.10 to $12.13. However, the deterioration seems to have bottomed out with some positive signs occurring. Some tenants in the market have overcome the reluctance to sign long-term leases that was evident in the first half to the year, and have begun to focus on locking in longer-term leases, capitalizing on lower rental rates. Deal velocity is showing signs of picking up, indicating tenants feel more confident in the strengthening economy. |
||||||
Systems for 44,849 square feet beginning in May 2010 with a term of seven years, three months. Brocade is a global industry leader in data center networking solutions and services. |
||||||||
Built in 1999, the property was purchased at a price ($138 per square foot) significantly below Wells estimated replacement cost of $185$210 per square foot.
Market activity remained slow through the third quarter, consistent with market trends seen throughout the first two quarters, with increasing vacancy and negative absorption. Direct vacancy increased to 18.8%, and third quarter net absorption |
The Nathan Lane submarket continues to outperform surrounding submarkets, posting the lowest overall direct vacancy rate at 15.1%, as well as the second-lowest Class-A vacancy rate at 13.8%. No speculative construction is under way in the submarket.
There has been meaningful tenant activity in the market. Anthem College executed a new 35,000-square-foot lease, and the GSA and United Health Group also executed new and expansion leases for 244,000 square feet and 45,000 square feet, respectively.

RISK FACTORS There is no assurance that the portfolio will perform at the Funds targeted investment performance. Illiquidity; no secondary market exists for the Funds shares. A shorter investment time horizon can intensify market fluctuations. Attracting financially stable tenants is a critical component of the Funds investment return. Wells replacement value is a measurement used to analyze the property; however, this number does not guarantee a similar resale value. We have a limited operating history; therefore, future performance and the performance of the Fund are difficult to predict. Please note that there are uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein. Risk of vacancies may impact investment performance; vacancies of longer duration will have a greater impact on investment returns. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing to fund continued leasing activity and operating shortfalls at our properties. |
