SAN ANTONIO—Industry professionals say infill cold storage assets will become more valuable in light of limited supply and high build costs. Fitting that description are two facilities totaling more than 500,000 square feet that Provender Partners recently sold in San Antonio and St. Louis for nearly $64 million.

Last year, Provender Partners invested more than $6 million in extensive improvements and renovations to the distribution centers before securing 10-year leases from Dollar General in both locations. With freezer, cooler and dry storage, the properties are part of Dollar General's new DG Fresh initiative to bring logistics capabilities in-house, seeking further control over its operations as it expands into the fresh and frozen food categories.

Guy Ponticello and Robert Gibson of CBRE along with Scott Delphey of Food Properties Group represented Provender Partners.
