The transaction represents the firm's first investment in the San Gabriel Valley market.
The institutional quality, 86% leased asset is 24-foot clear with eight dock high positions and a functional concrete truck court. The City of Industry benefits from its central location at the intersection of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. This asset has direct access to Highway 60 which connects the affluent West LA consumer markets, two nearby intermodal yards and the distribution centers in the Inland Empire.
We are excited to close our first acquisition in the San Gabriel Valley which is one of the most supply constrained markets in the Country, The San Gabriel Valley is critical to the movement of products and materials from Asia, Mexico and the Pacific Coast to the eastern United States. The City of Industry is a sought-after logistics corridor with ideal local infrastructure and the ability for businesses to operate 24-hours a day."
