Last-mile Atlanta-area portfolio sells for $26.9M
JLL Capital Markets closed the sale of a four-property infill industrial portfolio to two separate investors
ATLANTA, Feb. 3, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $26.9 million sale of a four-property industrial portfolio totaling 278,558 square feet across Atlanta’s northern suburbs.
JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Tamarack Investments, who sold the portfolio to two buyers. Faropoint acquired three assets, 4680 North Royal Atlanta Dr. in Tucker, 5121 Buford Hwy. in Norcross and 2100 Boggs Rd. in Duluth, and Denali Investment Group purchased the property at 1420 Redi Rd. in Cumming.
Each property is in a densely populated and well-established Atlanta Industrial submarket, including the Northeast, I-20 East and North Central, all of which are experiencing increased demand for infill, last-mile industrial product. The properties are all less than five miles from the area’s major logical thoroughfares, including Interstates 85, 75 and 985 and GA-400. Additionally, they are all within 36 miles of the Atlanta CBD, three of which are within 25 miles.
Currently 80 percent leased on a triple-net-lease basis, the single-tenant buildings offer a variety of uses, from light industrial to manufacturing and processing. They were constructed between 1986 and 1991 and feature multiple loading positions, clear heights ranging from 18 to 30 feet, ample office finish and parking and varying building depth.
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Matt Wirth, Dennis Mitchell, Britton Burdette and Jim Freeman.
“The portfolio was defined by the building locations in very dense, suburban, infill locations, and the ownership group was flexible about selling as a portfolio or in multiple transactions,” Freeman said. “Ultimately, the process resulted in two buyers for two different segments of assets, one with stabilized buildings and significant mark-to-market potential, and another with near-term vacancy and a compelling lease-up opportunity to create value.”
