Zoned Properties Announces Final Completion of Expansion at Chino Valley Cultivation Facility
Zoned Properties®, Inc. (“Zoned Properties” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: ZDPY), a leading real estate development firm for emerging and highly regulated industries including legalized cannabis, today announced an amendment to the lease agreement with its significant tenant related to its cultivation facility located in Chino Valley, Arizona.
“The final completion of this phase of expansion at Chino Valley marks a multi-year accomplishment our team has been working towards. Not only does the completion and concurrent amendment to the lease agreement significantly increase our rental revenue, but it also positions Zoned Properties to explore providing tenant improvement capital for the project in the future to even further increase our revenue potential from the facility,” said Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties.
Transaction Highlights
Over $8 Million of capital has been invested by the Company’s significant tenant at the Chino Valley Cultivation Facility. The Company’s significant tenant will maintain the master rights to the property and facilities through the remainder of the lease agreement.
Zoned Properties has provided the Company’s significant tenant with an initial tenant improvement allowance of $500,000 to advance the project toward the next phase of expansion. In exchange for this initial tenant improvement allowance, the base rent rate under the lease agreement will increase from $0.82 per square foot monthly to $0.90 per square foot monthly.
Effective March 1st, 2022, operational square footage will increase from 67,312 square feet to 97,312 square feet, and the new base rental payments at the facility will increase 59% from $55,195 per month to $87,580 per month reflecting both the increase in operational square footage and the increase to the base rent rate.
The final completion of this phase of expansion represents a year-over-year annualized base rental revenue increase from $393,600 to $1,050,970, reflecting a 167% increase for the property.
The Chino Valley Cultivation Facility also includes an approved master plan for additional future expansion that is construction ready. If completed in its entirety, the additional square footage of operational and rentable building space would increase another 60,000 square feet for a total of 157,312 square feet of operational and rentable space at the facility. This would equate to an annualized base rental revenue of $1,698,970 plus additional rental payments under the triple-net lease, reflecting an additional 62% increase.

COVID-19 Statement
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. Currently, all of the properties in our portfolio are open to our Significant Tenants and their customers and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. We did not experience in 2021, and to date have not experienced in 2022, any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. We do not anticipate any such material changes for the remainder of 2022. Our tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.
