100 Friars Blvd., West Deptford, NJ
WEST DEPTFORD, NJ— The Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. has acquired a 183,000-square-foot industrial warehouse property at 100 Friars Blvd. for $20.2 million in a sale-leaseback deal with ICS Corp.
The property is fully occupied by marketing firm ICS Corp. The industrial/warehouse and distribution facility serves as the corporate headquarters of ICS Corp. At closing ICS executed a long-term leaseback of the facility, according to JLL.
The JLL Industrial Capital Markets team that represented the seller for the 12.69-acre property was led by senior managing directors John Plower and Jim Cadranell, senior associate Ryan Cottone and analyst Zach Maguire.
"100 Friars Blvd. represented an excellent opportunity for the buyer to acquire a well-located, in-fill industrial building within a core location in the Southern New Jersey industrial market," Plower says. "The long-term leaseback of ICS Corporation provided a predictable cash flow stream over the foreseeable future for the buyer."
100 Friars Blvd. is located approximately 15 miles from center City Philadelphia and has access to the entire Mid-Atlantic region from its location between the New Jersey Turnpike's Exits 2 and 3 and has immediate access off Interstate 295's Exit 20.
