HANOVER, MD-Boston-based Great Point Investors LLC has acquired an industrial facility in Anne Arundel County from LaSalle Investment Management for almost $9 million. Bo Cashman and Jonathan Beard of CB Richard Ellis' Investment Property Group represented the seller.

Located at 7453 Candlewood Rd., the 128,800-sf facility is front-loaded and has a rail access spur. Currently, it is fully leased to three tenants, STAG-Parkway, Inc., Innovations USA and Grafco Pet Packaging.
