OAKLAND, CA—An added beneficiary of COVID clearly has been the cold storage product type. And, one investor continues to nab those types of facilities in the Bay Area and elsewhere. Provender Partners recently acquired two Oakland facilities totaling more than 160,000  square feet on 8 acres for approximately $26 million. The transaction adds to its acquired portfolio of more than 5 million square feet of refrigerated real estate throughout the United States.

Provender Partners purchased two properties, 860 and 940 on 81st Ave. Both facilities include freezer, cooler and dry storage, and are positioned near the Port of Oakland and Oakland International Airport.
