JLL Picks Up Valencia Industrial Portfolio for $65M

JLL Income Property Trust, an REIT advised by LaSalle Investment Management Inc. and sponsored by Chicago’s commercial real estate brokerage Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., announced that it had acquired a five-building warehouse portfolio in the Greater Los Angeles submarket for approximately $64.5 million. The multi-tenant portfolio was sold by Clarion Partners with representation from JLL; full terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Acquiring high quality, well-located warehouses in select, primary markets with high barriers to entry, like the Greater Los Angeles market, is a core component of our investment strategy," said Allan Swaringen, CEO and President of JLL Income Property Trust. "This portfolio's prime infill location in close proximity to Interstate 5 should allow us to attract and retain tenants and capture this market's strong rent growth potential. This marks our third industrial investment closed this year, and twenty-third property acquired in the warehouse sector over the last three years, growing our industrial allocation to over $430 million and 25% of our overall portfolio."

The Valencia Industrial Portfolio was full leased at the time of sale to eight different tenants. With an overall market vacancy rate of less than 2% (its lowest level in fifteen years), and new construction pipelines delivering less than 1% of existing stock, the industrial property market fundamentals of Greater Los Angeles are some of the strongest across all property types and markets in the country, according to JLL. The properties in the portfolio include:

28150 West Harrison Parkway: 87k square feet
28145 West Harrison Parkway: 114k square feet
28904-28912 Avenue Paine: 117k square feet
24823 Anza Drive: 31.3k square feet
25045 Avenue Tibbitts: 142.4k square feet

"The Valencia Industrial Portfolio offered quality assets occupied by credit tenants in a market with great connectivity," explained Bo Mills of JLL. "With a limited supply of Class A warehouse product in Southern California and in-place rents below market value, this deal represented a prime opportunity for both the buyer and seller."
