LatAm Logistic Properties Raises $77 Million Of Growth Capital

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LatAm Logistic Properties ("LLP") is pleased to announce it has raised a total of $77 million of growth capital as it continues to expand in its key markets in Latin America. The new capital was arranged by LLP's strategic partner, Jaguar Growth Partners, LLC, and structured as a co-investment from new and existing institutional investors.

"This investment marks a key milestone in the company's trajectory to become the first integrated logistics real estate platform to currently operate in Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia," said Mike Fangman, CEO of LLP. "We are executing on our strategy of serving high credit-quality tenants, becoming a one-stop solution for businesses that wish to increase their supply chain efficiencies in these geographies."

With this primary capital investment, LLP will seek to further expand its operations by offering Class-A warehousing and logistics product in deeply underserved markets in Latin America. The company currently has over 1 million square feet (93,000 square meters) of gross leasable area (GLA) under contract with multinational tenants and regional leaders. The new capital will seek to allow LLP to build or acquire up to 5 million square feet (465,000 square meters) of GLA in Latin America.

"Since our initial investment in 2015, LLP has become one of the leading developer, owner operating platform of logistics warehouse facilities in Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia," said Thomas McDonald, Founder and Managing Partner and Head of Americas of Jaguar Growth Partners. "We believe this additional capital reaffirms and fuels LLP's expansion strategy, its leadership team and the long-term prospects of the Andean Region, especially as e-commerce begins to take hold."
