"We are pleased to announce that during the third quarter we acquired two properties for an aggregate purchase price of $49.3 million and entered an agreement to acquire one additional property for $27.7 million, which we closed in October 2018. These transactions involve newly constructed properties close to major highways with access to highly populated market areas. Also, during the quarter, we acquired a land parcel to be used for a 194,000 square foot expansion for one of our existing investment grade rated tenants for an estimated yield of 6.7% on a project cost of approximately $15.0 million, and we entered new and renewal leases for more than 320,000 square feet that resulted in weighted average (by square feet) rental rates that were approximately 12.1% higher than prior rental rates for the same space. In addition, we completed rent resets for 516,000 square feet of land in Hawaii at weighted average (by square feet) rental rates that were approximately 20.3% higher than prior rental rates for the same space. We continue to be encouraged about our external growth prospects, supported by more than $340.0 million of current borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility to fund future acquisitions and expansions, and our internal growth prospects, including possible expansion and development projects with existing tenants as well as more than $7.0 million of our Hawaii annual rents remaining to be scheduled to reset during 2019."
