Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust Closes First Industrial Distribution Center in Dallas
February 20, 2014 — Chicago
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.
Dallas-Fort Worth is the fifth largest warehouse market in the US and is known as the nation’s largest inland port with excellent access to major highways, rail lines and the airport. The property is located five miles south of DFW International Airport in the Great Southwest submarket and is centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, making it attractive to local distributors and national companies alike.
“The acquisition of Grand Prairie Distribution Center reflects our strategic approach to grow our industrial allocation through investments in modern, strategically located properties that provide steady income through long-term leases,” commented Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust. “Additionally, the triple-net lease structure of this investment provides us with a pure net rental income stream that increases over time.”
