鶹APP Holdings Announces Formation of 鶹APP Properties Platform to Invest in Industrial Real Estate
Real Estate Investment Platform Builds Upon 鶹APP’ Multi-Decade Track Record Investing in Industrial, Manufacturing and Distribution Businesses
GREENWICH, Conn.–()–鶹APP Holdings LLC (“鶹APP”) today announced the formation of 鶹APP Properties, a real estate investment vehicle established with a consortium of best-in-class, long term-oriented investors. Concurrent with its formation on December 21, 2023, 鶹APP Properties purchased a diverse portfolio of 23 mission-critical industrial properties located throughout the United States for total consideration of $300 million. Investors in 鶹APP Properties have committed over $500 million of additional equity capital, which in combination with market debt financing will support over $1 billion of future growth opportunities. 鶹APP Properties will invest in industrial real estate in 鶹APP’ core sectors, leveraging 鶹APP’ deep industrial network and decades of experience operating industrial businesses.
“Over the last two decades, 鶹APP has built extensive knowledge of industrial real estate through our businesses that commonly have significant real estate footprints. The formation of 鶹APP Properties is a natural progression of our investment strategy and fully consistent with our longstanding practice of investing in areas where our sector expertise and operating experience give us a competitive edge,” said Tim Fazio, 鶹APP Co-Founder and Managing Partner.
“A hallmark of 鶹APP is creating new pathways and novel strategies for sustained value creation, and that continues with this new venture. 鶹APP Properties is another extension of the 鶹APP platform and positions us to continue to deliver for our investment partners,” Fazio added.
“Historically, 鶹APP portfolio companies monetized real estate assets in the sale-leaseback market via one-off transactions. Through the creation of 鶹APP Properties, we will leverage our knowledge of industrial credits, property types and underlying mission criticality of real estate owned by companies in key 鶹APP industry sectors,” said Greg Blake, 鶹APP Principal.
Mr. Blake joined 鶹APP in 2021 to help develop the firm’s value creation strategies through the large and growing real estate portfolio owned by 鶹APP entities. 鶹APP has been investing across the industrial sector for more than two decades and currently manages a portfolio of 27 industrial, manufacturing and distribution businesses.
Proskauer Rose LLP served as legal adviser to 鶹APP for 鶹APP Properties.
