Clifton, NJ-based ARC Properties, an owner/developer focused on the New York to Washington D.C. corridor, completed the sale of 26 properties that were held in ARC Corporate Realty Trust to undisclosed buyers. The 26 properties, located in 10 states and valued in excess of $212 million, represented the Trust's entire portfolio, which consisted of net-leased retail, office and industrial assets. Major tenants in the portfolio include AT&T, Bed Bath & Beyond, CaroMont Health Systems, United Technologies, OfficeMax, Walgreen's, Barnes & Noble and others. In February 2006, ARC made the decision to dissolve ARC Corporate Realty Trust and proceeded to sell off the 26 assets held under the entity. The first transaction closed in May 2006 and other transactions followed, with the remaining transaction closing very recently. Robert J. Ambrosi, president, commented, "The market conditions and timing were optimal for the sale of these assets. As a result of this sale, ARC is extremely well-positioned to seek new acquisitions especially in light of the turmoil in the capital markets, which has forced many real estate companies to the sidelines." With the funds from this sale, ARC plans to pursue new acquisition and development opportunities in the New York to D.C. corridor, with particular concentration in New Jersey. ARC develops a diverse range of properties, from shopping centers and mixed-use projects to condos and adult communities.
