Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. Announces the Sale of Starbuck’s Plaza, 525 Main Street, Monroe, CT

GREENWICH, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$UBA #REIT—Urstadt
Biddle Properties Inc. (NYSE: UBA and UBP), a real estate investment
trust, announced today that it completed the sale of a 10,100 square
foot retail property located at 525 Main Street, Monroe, CT (“Monroe”).
The property was sold to a local real estate investor for an all cash
price of $3,650,000 million, exclusive of closing costs and adjustments,
which equated to an approximate 6.9% capitalization rate on existing net
operating income. Monroe is tenanted by a 1,700 square foot Starbucks
and a 2,900 square foot M&T Bank, along with other local tenants. Monroe
was purchased by the company in January 2007. The company expects to
record a gain on sale of the property in its fiscal third quarter of
approximately $575,000, exclusive of closing costs. The company expects
to invest the net proceeds from the sale into retail properties located
in its primary investment marketplace in the near future.

Commenting on the sale, Willing L. Biddle, UBP’s President and Chief
Executive Officer said, “We are pleased to have sold this fully-leased
asset at an attractive yield on existing income. The company is
continually evaluating all of its investment properties to determine if
they continue to meet our current investment strategy of owning high
quality grocery or pharmacy anchored shopping centers in the suburban
communities that surround New York City. Although Monroe was a solid
commercial real estate property, it did not meet our current investment
objectives. Accordingly, we elected to sell it and plan on recycling the
proceeds into properties which are more closely aligned with our current
investment objectives.”
