The tenant roster at the properties, scattered throughout the Chicago market, include Mary Kay Cosmetics, Truserve, Tyco and Menlo Logistics. Average lease term at the properties is about six years, according to CenterPoint Properties Trust, which already is the largest industrial property owner in the market with a portfolio of 37 million sf.

"Three of the buildings purchased are brand new and the bulk of the portfolio is institutional-quality," says CenterPoint Properties Trust chief investment officer Paul Ahern.
