US real estate investment firm Longpoint has acquired over 1m sqft of industrial properties in Utah.

Longpoint has invested an undisclosed sum to buy the Mountain West Portfolio and the Salt Lake City Infill Portfolio in Utah, in a deal that represents the firm’s first investments in the Salt Lake City area.

The Mountain West Portfolio consists of nine shallow-bay properties totaling over 490,000sqft with an 85% occupancy rate, and the Salt Lake City Infill Portfolio, a collection of seven industrial properties totaling over 531,000sqft, is fully occupied.

“Our value-add approach will allow us to realise long-term value creation and compelling risk-adjusted returns.”
