RADNOR, PA — EQT Real Estate has completed the sale of a 25-property, 8.7-million-square-foot portfolio of modern logistics assets across 13 major U.S. distribution hubs, marking the largest industrial transaction announced in the United States so far this year.
The portfolio, assembled and actively managed since 2020 through the EQT Real Estate Industrial Core-Plus Fund II, spans key markets including Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Phoenix, and several major Texas metros. The assets, most developed after 2000, feature an average clear height of 31 feet, modern loading configurations, and a diversified tenant base across e-commerce, industrial production, and retail supply chain operations.
EQT’s strategy focused on acquiring and developing institutional-grade properties in high-growth, supply-constrained submarkets near critical infrastructure. The firm said the portfolio’s scale, geographic diversification, and strong tenant retention demonstrate the resilience of U.S. logistics real estate and align with investor demand for stabilized, high-quality industrial platforms.
Matthew Brodnik, global chief investment officer at EQT Real Estate, said the sale represents the culmination of a multi-year effort to assemble and optimize a national logistics platform. He said the team executed the full investment cycle — from targeted acquisitions to stabilization — using EQT’s “locals-with-locals” model and value creation strategy.
The properties attracted investor interest amid rising demand for modern distribution facilities and limited new industrial supply in several major markets.
EQT Real Estate was advised by JLL’s John Huguenard, Trent Agnew, and Will McCormack.
