This deal took over two years to develop, following relationship and trust-building between Jason and the seller. For deal specifics or to talk deals in Central/West Florida, reach out to Jason.

ACQUISITION: COARE Industrial acquired 7235 Gardner Street in Winter Park, Florida. The 1.4 acre site features a graveled yard and two existing structures totaling 3,245 SF. Strategically zoned “IND-1/IND-5” within Unincorporated Orange County, the property permits all forms of outdoor storage by-right. COARE pre-leased the asset during the due diligence period to a prominent regional horticultural services firm.
Rich DeGirolamo and Santiago Acevedo helped arrange this transaction. The COARE team was led by Stephen Barry and Hansel Rodriguez. For all investment opportunities, please contact Stephen at [email protected].

ACQUISITION: The Bauman Moffitt Team led by Tivon Moffit and Peter Bauman at IPA announced the successful closing of two STNL warehouse and industrial outdoor storage facilities leased to BlueLinx in the Kansas City and St. Louis Metros. These infill assets totaled just under 45 acres and offered scale, functionality, and long-term income durability, which drove strong investor interest and a successful outcome for their client.

ACQUISITION: Torch Capital announced they closed on their first IOS transaction — a 27-acre truck yard in Monroe County, MI. Dan Stewart’s team at Torch Capital and SVN Stewart Commercial Group are actively looking to connect with owners, operators, and investors who are also focused on IOS.

ACQUISITION: Base Industrial announced their latest acquisition at 417 S. 42nd Street in Kansas City, KS. They acquired the property from an owner-user who vacated at year-end and successfully executed a lease with a new tenant during due diligence.
John Faur, CCIM, John Hassler, and Mark Long at Newmark facilitated the acquisition and lease. Reach out to Evan Welsh for more information.

ACQUISITION: Open Industrial recently acquired a 2.2 AC property located at 3601 Hillsborough Rd, Durham, NC.

The site is strategically positioned next to the I-85 on ramp, providing immediate access to the greater Raleigh/Durham MSA. The site was acquired from an owner/user and features a mix of Industrial Light and Industrial zoning, which allows for a broad range of industrial, outdoor storage, and retail uses. Gary W. Kramling and Seth Jernigan, CCIM represented the Seller, and the Open Industrial deal team included Elmo Alexander, Chad Pitts, and Matt Potolicchio.
