Crow Holdings Industrial Properties Trust Closes at $1.5B
It will pursue the development and acquisition of Class A industrial properties in key logistics markets across the United States.
Crow Holdings has closed its Crow Holdings Industrial Properties Trust (CHIPT) with more than $600 million of equity commitments and $1.5 billion of purchasing power with anticipated leverage.
Managed by Crow Holdings’ investment management company, Crow Holdings Capital, the trust was formed to pursue the development and acquisition of Class A industrial properties in key logistics markets across the U.S.
CHIPT is constructing a diverse portfolio of modern logistics properties principally focused on the top logistics markets in the country that provide key infrastructure nodes or act as regional distribution hubs—those with proximity to seaports, airports, rail lines, highway interchanges, and other hubs of logistics activity.
The platform has already closed on several investments in the New Jersey-Pennsylvania, Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Southern California markets.
Capitalizing on Favorable Market Dynamics
The trust received strong support from wealth advisory and family office platforms, according to the company.
“We are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the continuing secular trends benefitting logistics real estate, including: the accelerated and sustained consumer adoption of e-commerce, the increasing importance of supply chain management, and the increased focus on manufacturing in the US,” Michael Levy, CEO of Crow Holdings, said in prepared remarks.
“This sustained demand has resulted in record-low vacancy rates and record-high rental levels. We expect there to be continued opportunities in this sector, and the companies that have the experience, relationship network, and on-the-ground presence in key markets are best positioned to take advantage of those opportunities.”
