JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) today announced the acquisition of a Class A, state-of-the-art, industrial distribution center totaling 145,000 square feet located in southwest suburban Dallas. The property is 100 percent leased to Fruit of the Earth for a period of eight years running through January 2027.

Dallas-Fort Worth is the third largest industrial market in the United States by square footage, posting a low 5.7% vacancy rate at the end of 2018, 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 this industrial distribution center continues 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 JLL Income Property Trust. “This investment brings our aggregate industrial allocation to $670 million and over 6.3 million square feet representing 26 percent of the value of the overall JLL Income Property Trust portfolio.”
