MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

I am pleased to provide a preview of our second quarter activity,” said John Moragne, Chief Executive Officer. “Our portfolio continues to demonstrate its strength and resiliency with 100% collections through April and May. We continue to selectively find accretive opportunities to deploy capital in today’s market including new acquisitions, continued investment in our existing properties, and attractive build-to-suit opportunities. We remain committed to our disciplined and prudent approach to capital allocation as we continue to navigate today’s challenging market backdrop.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

  • During the second quarter, we invested $60.1 million in 4 properties at a weighted average initial cash capitalization rate of 7.3%. Investments were all industrial opportunities and consisted of $20.4 million in new property acquisitions, $7.0 million in revenue generating capital expenditures, and $32.7 million in development funding opportunities. The leases on new property acquisitions and revenue generating capital expenditures had a weighted average initial term of over 15 years and minimum annual rent increases of 1.9%.

The facility is projected to open in the third quarter of 2024, with rent commencing no later than October 15, 2024.
