SKRM was able to purchase the asset in an off-market transaction as a result of a relationship with a leasing broker who represented the owner.

Henry Schein Building, Denver, PA In 2001, SKRM closed on a $22.0 million purchase of a 623,000 square foot distribution facility located in Denver, PA, from First Industrial. Upon acquisition the property was occupied by two tenants: Henry Schein, a credit tenant, and Skips, a non-credit tenant. The Skips lease was below market which provided the opportunity to increase the value of the property if Skips vacated. In 2006, Henry Schein extended their lease and expanded into the entire building after SKRM had successfully negotiated an early lease termination for Skips. After the lease extension and expansion, SKRM refinanced the existing debt with a $29.6 million mortgage. SKRM and its partners received 2.7x their initial investment within six years. The property is still 100% occupied by Henry Schein.

After SKRM's purchase of the distribution facility, ConAgra Foods consolidated its entire Chef Boyardee production in the plant next door. With this consolidation ConAgra Foods took over the balance of the building from a previous logistics tenant. The property produced annual cash on cash returns of 30%, and with the sale produced an internal rate of return of over 45%.
