Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust, Inc., an institutionally-managed, non-listed, daily valued perpetual life REIT, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Grand Prairie Distribution Center, a 277,000 square foot distribution warehouse located in southwest suburban Dallas, TX. The newly constructed, state-of-the-art building is 100 percent leased to Fruit of the Earth, a leading manufacturer of aloe-based healthcare products. The lease is for a period of ten years running through January 2024.
