SRG - Seritage Growth Properties

[koshigoe]

maybe you guys have already seen, on the 20 some SRG seals stores that recently closed, the 8-k said only 12 were sears leaving, so SRG is really ramping up the recalls with about 10 more.

I believe 2019 should be SRG's Annus mirabilis, with several large redevs starting with redmond (approved), dallas and hicksville, almost all of the redevelopment properties coming online by end of the year, and the new financing allowing for an increase in redevelopment pace.

and with still some 10 million shares short on a footing that crumbles more by the day

Some color on the two companies. Not much here that isn't already known to the board...

As Sears Withers, Its Former Stores Fuel a New Fortune

I like this part:


Built just after World War II, the Art Deco-style Sears building in Santa Monica is across from a train station. Renderings of the new office space show young people working on a roof deck overlooking the Pacific.

“It is going to be worth an enormous amount of money,” said Bob Safai, founding partner of Madison Partners, a commercial real estate firm in the Los Angeles area.

In New York State, Seritage acquired property in relatively higher income areas.

The median income in the 12 ZIP codes in New York where Seritage bought stores is $74,266, according to an analysis by The New York Times. The median income in the ZIP codes that include the 46 Sears and Kmart stores in New York that Seritage did not acquire and are still operating is $67,962.

The Redmond city council approved Seritage's development project.

This will be Seritage's first residential mix use development.

This sounds like a big deal:

Seritage Growth Properties submitted a project application to the city in 2015 for the mixed-used development, which will include 100,000 square feet of street-level retail space, 266,800 square feet of office space and nearly 62,000 square feet of restaurant space.

Included in this would be 500 apartments, a 210-room hotel, around two acres of parks and open space and 2,245 underground parking stalls for a total of 1.05 million square feet of new development in Redmond’s Overlake neighborhood.

Does anyone have a link/source for the project application?

Is this the sf breakdown?
100,000 retail
266,800 office
  62,000 restaurant
621,000 apartments and hotel?

How much will this cost?

Found some answers. http://www.redmond.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=169&pageId=224202 has a list of documents.

The Development Agreement at http://www.redmond.gov/common/pages/UserFile.aspx?fileId=234614 says the following:

500 multifamily residential units (equivalent to approximately 476,865 square feet), a 210-room hotel (equivalent to approximately 121,565 square feet)

So now that Sears is effectively bankrupt, how does this effect SRG? The market seems to have taken a 6% hit on the news. Rational?
