Colony Capital has acquired approximately 11.9 million square feet industrial real estate protfolio for $1.16 billion in 10 U.S markets. The portfolio consists of 48 last-mile logistics buildings and 6 bulk industrial buildings.
The portfolio is 73% leased and most tenants are national or international corporations.
The properties are located across the U.S. in Northern and Southern California, Washington state, Oregon, Nevada, Illinois , Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
“Our industrial platform has been scaling rapidly over the past four years and this transaction is a milestone that expands our portfolio by 25% in square footage,” said Lew Friedland, Managing Director at Colony Capital and head of Colony Industrial. “These high quality, well-located light industrial assets will give us a stronger presence in both our existing markets and new target markets across the country, especially on the West Coast.”
Mr. Friedland added, “This acquisition represents a strategic expansion by Colony’s industrial platform into the bulk industrial space which complements our strong presence in last-mile, warehouse logistics. Our growing national network of industrial warehouse options gives us new opportunities to serve customers and create synergies from strong existing relationships with tenants, owners, sellers and brokers.”
