NEW YORK CITY — Global asset manager Investcorp has acquired a portfolio of eight distribution centers located throughout the United States for $170 million.

The names of the properties were not disclosed, but the portfolio totals approximately 1.4 million square feet. All eight distribution centers are located in high-growth markets, including Chicago, Phoenix, Jacksonville, St. Louis, Charlotte Cincinnati, Cleveland and San Antonio. The seller was not disclosed.

In addition, the portfolio was fully leased at the time of sale to tenants such as courier FedEx Ground, supply chain operator XPO Logistics, packaged food distributor Conagra Foods and telecommunications provider Spectrum. Company officials noted that the average lease term within the portfolio is 15 years.

“With the rapid growth of e-commerce driving increased demand for industrial assets nationwide, this portfolio underscores our ability to identify and then execute on long-term trends in real estate,” says Herb Myers, Investcorp’s managing director in real estate investment.

Myers also cited the properties’ location near major highways and railways as a key factor in acquiring the portfolio.

Following this transaction, Investcorp now owns 191 industrial buildings totaling 16 million square feet. In the last 18 months, Investcorp has acquired approximately $2 billion of U.S. real estate through 21 different deals.
