On December 3, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with an unrelated third party to acquire a 79% interest and an additional 11% economic interest in the mixed-use property known as the Exelon Building for a purchase price of approximately $92.2 million in cash and a loan to the seller of approximately $12.8 million (the “Exelon Acquisition”). In connection with the Exelon Acquisition, the Company will assume its proportionate share of the $156.3 million of debt secured by the Exelon Building, which the Company intends to refinance following the acquisition.
The Exelon Building is a mixed-use property located in Baltimore’s Harbor Point, and is comprised of a 23-story, 444,000 square foot Class A office building that serves as the regional headquarters for Exelon Corporation (“Exelon”), a Fortune 100 energy company, as well as (i) a multifamily component comprised of 103 units, which are approximately 96% occupied as of November 22, 2021, (ii) 750 parking spaces, 500 of which are leased by Exelon and (iii) 38,500 square feet of retail space anchored by West Elm. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the office component of the Exelon Building is 100% leased by Exelon pursuant to a lease with a remaining term of 15 years and a three percent annual rent escalator.
The Exelon Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including satisfactory due diligence, and the Company expects to close the Exelon Acquisition by the end of the first quarter of 2022. There can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied or that the Company will complete the Exelon Acquisition on the terms described herein or at all, or that the Company will realize the expected benefits of the Exelon Acquisition in part or at all.

ARMADA HOFFLER PROPERTIES TO ACQUIRE CLASS A+ MIXED-USE EXELON BUILDING IN BALTIMORE'S HARBOR POINT
ESTIMATED 7.4% YEAR 1 COMBINED CAP RATE FOR THE OFFICE HEADQUARTERS, MULTIFAMILY AND RETAIL ACQUISITION
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, December 7, 2021 - Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (AHH: NYSE) (the “Company”) announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire a 79% interest and an additional 11% economic interest in the 23-story mixed-use Exelon building in Baltimore’s premiere downtown waterfront neighborhood, Harbor Point. The aggregate value of the acquisition is $246 million. The estimated year 1 return on investment is 7.4%. The office component of the Exelon building is 100% leased by Exelon, a leading investment grade clean energy provider, pursuant to a lease with a remaining term of 15 years, with 3% annual escalation. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including satisfactory due diligence, and the Company expects to close the acquisition by the end of the first quarter of 2022. Beatty Development Group will retain a 10% ownership position in the asset, a continuation of the Company’s 25-year relationship.
“Master planned mixed-use developments in premier locations, such as Harbor Point, are central to our strategy. The acquisition of the state-of-art Exelon building further solidifies our Harbor Point footprint and is consistent with our long-term plan of building scale in the Harbor Point submarket,” said Louis Haddad, President & CEO of Armada Hoffler Properties. “In addition to being immediately accretive, this acquisition provides opportunities for future NOI growth through economies of scale and operational synergies with both existing and future assets. As we previously discussed, we intend to redeploy capital from the sale of our three student housing assets into higher yielding mixed-use assets. This accretive transaction accomplishes that goal in a major way.”
The Exelon building is a mixed-use property located in Baltimore’s Harbor Point, and is comprised of a 23-story, 444,000 square foot Class A office building that serves as the regional headquarters for Exelon, a Fortune 100 energy company, as well as (i) a multifamily component comprised of 103 units, which are approximately 96% occupied as of November 22, 2021, (ii) 38,500 square feet of retail space anchored by West Elm and (iii) 750 parking spaces, 500 of which are leased by Exelon Corporation. Armada Hoffler Construction constructed the building alongside long-term partner Beatty Development Group in 2016. The building is certified as LEED Gold and the interior is LEED Platinum; it is the fourth-largest LEED ID+C platinum-certified project in the United States.
The Exelon building is located adjacent to Armada Hoffler Properties’ other Harbor Point assets: 1405 Point Apartments, Thames Street Wharf and Wills Wharf office buildings. In addition to current Harbor Point assets, the company is currently in a joint venture developing the T. Rowe Price Global Headquarters and the companion mixed-use residential, retail, and parking garage.
