MINNEAPOLIS—CPA®:18 – Global, a non-traded REIT affiliate of W. P. Carey Inc., a New York-based REIT, has just purchased from Liberty Property Trust a 191,000-square-foot office and R&D facility in suburban Plymouth for about $43 million. The facility is leased to Alliant Techsystems Inc. for a period of about 10 years and is just the latest big purchase by W.P. Carey or its affiliates of top industrial product net-leased to high credit companies.
