Terreno Realty Corporation Acquires Buildings in Sunnyvale, CA for $33.7 Million

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5, 2012—Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO) acquired three multi-tenant industrial buildings containing approximately 172,000 square feet located in Sunnyvale, California on July 3, 2012 for a purchase price of approximately $33.7 million.

Two R&D buildings aggregating approximately 101,000 square feet are at 904 East Caribbean Drive and 1339 Moffett Park Drive and one distribution building of approximately 71,000 square feet is at 914-918 East Caribbean Drive, within Silicon Valley’s Moffett Park submarket. The properties are adjacent to Highways 237 and 101 and are 100% leased to two tenants. The estimated stabilized cap rate of the property is 7.1%.

Estimated stabilized cap rates are calculated as annualized cash basis net operating income stabilized to market occupancy (generally 95%) divided by total acquisition cost. Total acquisition cost includes the initial purchase price, the effects of marking assumed debt to market, buyer’s due diligence and closing costs, estimated near-term capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to achieve stabilization.

Terreno Realty Corporation is an acquirer, owner and operator of industrial real estate located in six major coastal U.S. markets: Los Angeles; Northern New Jersey/New York City; San Francisco Bay Area; Seattle; Miami; and Washington, D.C./Baltimore.
