MIAMI—Lexington Realty Trust aquired a portfolio of 10 retail locations leased to BluePearl Veterinary Partners, a 24-hour emergency pet care provider. The sale price is $52.6 million.

Joshua Pardue of Stan Johnson Company's New York office represented both parties in the transaction. All properties, which span more than 139,000 square feet of emergence medical space and administrative offices, are under a long-term master lease.

Five of the assets are in Florida. Other properties are in Georgia, Texas, Michigan and Illinois.
