CBRE Investment Management (CBRE IM) has purchased six buildings totalling 2.3m sqft across three key US East Coast distribution centres 

Making the acquisition on behalf of a separate account client, CBRE IM bought properties in Central New Jersey, Charlotte and Atlanta.

Christopher Sullivan, director, Americas direct logistics team, CBRE IM, said: “This portfolio represents exactly the type of acquisition our team has been targeting: modern, well-located logistics assets in core markets where we have conviction in long-term fundamentals and the operational expertise to execute.”

The portfolio comprises high-quality, institutional-grade logistics assets with one building in Central New Jersey, three in Charlotte and two in Atlanta, the firm said in a statement. 

The portfolio is 100% leased to seven tenants, CBRE IM added.

Jesse Harty, head of Americas logistics operator division, CBRE IM, said: “At 2.3m sqft, this is a significant addition to our logistics platform and reflects the scale we are able to deliver for our clients through deep market relationships and a disciplined, high-conviction approach to capital deployment.”
