With this purchase, the Company continues to expand its holdings of commercial office space in the Salt Lake City market.

Wasatch 16 has a total square footage of approximately 80,000 square feet with a current occupancy rate of 92%. The Company is pleased to have purchased the office building at an attractive price and it anticipates that the building will generate a favorable overall return rate for the Company.
