WINNIPEG, MANITOBA-Huntingdon Real Estate Investment Trust is acquiring three recently completed industrial properties totaling 94,960 sf for $19.6 million. The purchase is a sale-leaseback transaction with Leader Energy Services Ltd.; the properties house its western Canadian oilfield services facilities.

Per the acquisition agreement, Leader will enter into a 20-year, triple net lease with rent increases every five years. The purchase price represents an implied 10.57% capitalization rate, based on year-one net operating income.

To complete the deal, HREIT has obtained a commitment for first mortgage financing in the amount of $13.97 million. The loan would have a five-year term and would bear interest at 5.63%. The balance of the purchase price would be paid in cash. The acquisition is scheduled to close during March 2007.
