Acquisition financing secured for 28-asset industrial portfolio in North Carolina’s Triad region
JLL Capital Markets arranged acquisition financing for the portfolio totaling 1.4 million square feet in Kernersville and Winston-Salem
DALLAS, Oct. 18, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged acquisition financing for a 28-asset light industrial portfolio totaling 1.4 million square feet in Kernersville and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
JLL worked on behalf of Dallas-based Blue Ridge Industrial to secure the five-year, floating rate loan through an entity managed by Argentic Investment Management LLC (“Argentic”).
The portfolio is currently 96.4% leased to a diverse rent roll of 66 tenants. Key features include average clear heights of 23 feet with 306 total dock-high doors and a combination of front-, rear-, side- and cross-dock load configurations. The average building size across the portfolio is approximately 50,000 square feet.
Kernersville and Winston-Salem sit within the rapidly growing Triad region of North Carolina. The portfolio benefits from having immediate access to two super-regional interstates, I-40 and I-85, close proximity to a skilled labor force and new manufacturing plants and corporate relocations. Kernersville is located 10 miles east of Winston-Salem and 17 miles west of Greensboro. Winston-Salem is located 25 miles west of Greensboro and 69 miles northeast of Charlotte.
