Prologis Agrees to Acquire Duke Realty in $26B All-Stock Transaction

by Taylor Williams June 13, 2022

SAN FRANCISCO AND INDIANAPOLIS — San Francisco-based industrial giant Prologis Inc. (NYSE: PLD) has agreed to acquire Indianapolis-based Duke Realty (NYSE: DRE) for $26 billion in an all-stock transaction, including debt. The mega-merger of these two REITs is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter. The board of directors for each company has already unanimously approved the transaction. In May, Prologis offered to acquire Duke in an all-cash transaction for $61.68 per share, a proposal that would have generated a price tag of $23.7 billion. The offer, which was tendered on May 10, represented a 29 percent premium over Duke’s closing stock price on the previous day. However, Duke rejected the offer. The transaction includes Prologis’ assumption of Duke Realty’s existing debt. Duke’s shareholders will receive a premium of 47.5 percent over the current value of each share of common stock they own. Prologis plans to hold 94 percent of the acquired assets. Prologis expects to achieve $310 million to $370 million in reduced general and administrative costs and consolidated corporate leverage as a result of the acquisition. In addition, Prologis said it was drawn to Duke’s presence with high-performing industrial facilities in key markets, including Southern California, New Jersey, …

Miami’s Industrial Market is in a Position of Strength Heading into Summer 2022

by John Nelson June 13, 2022

Amid a record-breaking year for Miami-Dade County in 2021, industrial market fundamentals grew even stronger in the first quarter of 2022. Last year, the national industrial market saw unprecedented activity resulting from unlimited investment capital from Wall Street, private equity firms and REITs deploying significant capital into buying existing income-producing property and development sites. In the first quarter of 2022, market fundamentals continued to heat up in Miami-Dade County and are expected to continue to attract investors and developers that are looking to capitalize on a growing population and soaring demand for warehousing space. The ongoing global supply chain challenges are forcing existing tenants’ requirements to include additional warehouse space for storage. Simultaneously, new-to-market tenants are continuing to flock to the area, despite a shrinking supply of available space. Together, this confluence of activity triggered a record low vacancy rate of 2.7 percent in Miami-Dade County in the first quarter, a 150-basis-point decrease year-over-year. Rental rates also reached a record high of $11.80 per square foot triple-net, which is an increase of 8.3 percent year-over-year. We expect continued growth in port markets, as well as increased leasing activity from third-party logistics and e-commerce tenants. In 2021, Amazon leased multiple locations …

Port Houston’s Growth Comes Full Circle

by Taylor Williams June 9, 2022

By Taylor Williams If ever there was a time to start a commercial real estate story with a line about how everything’s bigger in Texas, a 2022 update on Port Houston’s activity would surely be it. For that really is the case in and around Houston’s economic engine. The various pieces of infrastructural groundwork that the port began laying over the last decade-plus in anticipation of expanded activity are seeing heavier utilization. The channel itself, its shores lined with 900-ton cranes, are being deepened (from 45 to 46.5 feet) and widened (from 530 to 700 feet) at accelerated paces to accommodate the ever-growing volume of cargo passing through the port. And with the forward progress of all these projects and initiatives comes healthy demand for bigger industrial tracts to develop and spaces to lease. “We’re simply in a different place now than we were a decade ago,” says John Moseley, Port Houston’s chief commercial officer. “At that time, not everybody was convinced that Houston would become a massive import hub. But we saw demographic changes and felt that as a marine terminal operator, we controlled our own destiny. So we invested in our infrastructure and economic development to attract distribution …
