RADNOR, PA — EQT Real Estate announced that EQT Real Estate Industrial Value Fund VI has acquired a 25-property logistics portfolio totaling more than 4.3 million square feet across several U.S. industrial markets from Mapletree Investments.
The portfolio includes properties in Jacksonville, Nashville, Richmond, Atlanta, New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Florida, the company said.
According to EQT Real Estate, the assets are located in infill industrial submarkets near major transportation corridors including Interstate 95, Interstate 81, and Interstate 10.
The properties feature an average clear height of 28 feet and a mix of single-tenant and multi-tenant configurations, including shallow bay and bulk warehouse formats.
Most sites are located near major population centers and highway interchanges, which the company said supports distribution and logistics operations.
Matthew Brodnik, chief investment officer at EQT Real Estate, said the acquisition aligns with the firm’s strategy of investing in industrial assets in supply-constrained locations.
“This investment reflects our high-conviction, thematic approach to investing in infill logistics across the U.S., where we see strong long-term demand for well-located industrial assets,” Brodnik said.
EQT Real Estate said it plans to pursue leasing initiatives, site improvements, and redevelopment opportunities as part of its management strategy for the portfolio.
John Hugenard of JLL advised the seller in the transaction, according to the company.
