TYLER, TEXAS — Dallas-based Metropolitan Capital Advisors (MCA), a financial intermediary, has raised a $5 million joint venture equity investment to fund the acquisition of a vacant 536,000-square-foot industrial complex in Tyler. The complex was formerly owned and occupied by Carrier Corp., who sold the property after relocating the plant to Monterrey, Mexico. The property was acquired by a Tyler-based partnership sponsored by Buster Fitzgerald and Jerry Tate. After closing on the purchase in May, the new ownership completed a lease with Trane, a provider of HVAC and building management systems. Trane will initially occupy 100,000 square feet of the property with a takedown schedule to eventually occupy the majority of the complex. Scott Lynn and Brandon Wilhite of MCA arranged the $5 million equity investment with Dallas-based Provident Realty Advisors.
