Sunbelt Logistics Portfolio sold for $160M
JLL Capital Markets orchestrates sale and financing of industrial assets totalling nearly 2M SF across Georgia, Florida and Texas
ATLANTA, Sept. 25, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today the $160 million sale and acquisition financing secured for Sunbelt Logistics Portfolio, a fully leased industrial portfolio totalling 1.8 million square feet located across Georgia, Florida and Texas.
JLL represented the seller, while Northwood Investors acquired the portfolio. JLL also secured acquisition financing from affiliates of Apollo.
The portfolio consists of three high-quality industrial buildings located in premier distribution submarkets across three dynamic growth cities: Home Depot Cedar Port Distribution Center in Baytown, Texas; Havertys Distribution Center in Braselton, Georgia; and 10000 NW 15th Terrace in Miami, Florida. Each property serves as a mission-critical component of each respective tenant’s supply chain. The portfolio has seven years of weighted average lease term with a large, embedded mark to market as the in-place rents are approximately 40% below market rents.
The JLL Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Director Britton Burdette, Senior Managing Director and Capital Markets Industrial Co-Leader Trent Agnew and Managing Director Luis Castillo. Senior Director Bobby Norwood led the JLL Debt Advisory team that secured the financing.
“This portfolio transaction exemplifies the robust demand for well-positioned industrial assets in high-growth Sunbelt markets,” said Burdette. “Each property's strategic location contributes to the portfolio's overall value proposition, making it an attractive investment in today's competitive landscape.”
