Colony Industrial Acquires Westside Industrial Park in Jacksonville, Florida

DALLAS, April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Colony Industrial announced today that it has acquired Westside Industrial Park in Jacksonville, FL for $77.5 million. Colony Industrial is the industrial platform of Colony NorthStar (NYSE: CLNS), a diversified global real estate investment firm with $43 billion of assets under management.

The Westside Industrial Park portfolio, located at 4601 Bulls Bay Highway (Buildings 100, 200, and 300) and 4910 Bulls Bay Highway, consists of four Class A light industrial buildings totaling 1,286,359 square feet. The buildings are currently 99.8% leased to nine high-quality tenants. The property has a premier location that provides users with immediate access to Interstate 295, which intersects with both I-95 (the major national north-south corridor) and I-10 (the major national east-west corridor.)

Lew Friedland, Colony NorthStar Managing Director and head of Colony Industrial, said, "Ecommerce and the increasing need for faster delivery are driving strong demand for well-located, infill warehouse space. Colony Industrial is expanding its portfolio to meet this demand for the critical 'last-mile' in the logistics chain. Westside Industrial Park is an excellent example of the outstanding properties Colony Industrial is acquiring around the U.S., and we look forward to expanding our presence further in Jacksonville."

This is Colony Industrial's fourth investment in Jacksonville over the last nine months.
