Seritage Growth Properties Marks Three Year Anniversary of NYSE ListingSeritage Growth Properties (NYSE:SRG) ("Seritage" or the "Company") today commemorated the third anniversary of its listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with an update on the Company's leasing, development and transaction activity from its formation and public listing on July 7, 2015 through June 30, 2018. "As we mark the completion of our first three years as a public company, and on the heels of strong leasing, development and transaction activity in the first half of 2018, we are confident that our platform, scale and control over well-located real estate will continue to position us as a preferred partner for growing retailers, mixed-use developers and institutional capital providers," said Benjamin Schall, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Based on the strength of our national platform and dedicated team members, we have now executed 6.1 million square feet of new leasing at average rents of approximately $17.50 PSF and a 4.1x re-leasing multiple, and completed or commenced 88 redevelopment projects totaling $1.3 billion of estimated capital investment at unlevered returns on cost of approximately 11%." Mr. Schall continued, "Over the past three years, we have established a consistent track record of generating value upon redevelopment, while also substantially diversifying our tenant base. As of June 30th, Sears Holdings was no longer the primary tenant at 129 of our 249 assets, and we remain on track to have Sears Holdings account for less than 35% of our contractual rental income by the end of 2018, down meaningfully from nearly 80% when we started. As we look forward, we are increasingly focused on our larger value creation opportunities, including a number of significant densification and mixed-use projects, and further establishing Seritage as a leading growth platform in a transforming industry."
