Burton Katzman and DRA Advisors have formed a $240 million joint venture that will launch with the recapitalization of 24 infill light industrial properties in the Midwest. 

"The portfolio represents a highly compelling opportunity to acquire a dynamic, well-occupied, and cash-flowing light industrial portfolio at an attractive basis with a best-in-class joint venture partner," Brett Gottlieb, managing director for DRA Advisors, says in prepared comments. 

The portfolio spans over 2.2 million square feet, is 99% leased with a five-year weighted average lease term and features a diversified national tenant roster. With over 40 tenants on the rent roll, no tenant occupies more than 15% of the portfolio's square footage, mitigating rollover risk. Newmark arranged the financing for this transaction as well as the joint venture.
