NexPoint Launches Life Sciences III DST Offering for CDMO Manufacturing Property in Minnesota

DALLAS, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint, a multibillion-dollar alternative investment firm¹, announced the launch of NexPoint Life Sciences III DST, a Delaware Statutory Trust (the "DST"), which acquired a life sciences industrial manufacturing property in Woodbury, Minnesota (the "Property")². The DST seeks to raise approximately $31 million through the offering. The investment reinforces NexPoint's commitment to life sciences real estate, which continues to be a key area of growth across NexPoint's real estate platform.

The approximately 138,000-square-foot property is the global headquarters for Kindeva Drug Delivery (the "Tenant"), a contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") that develops and manufactures products across a range of complex drug-delivery formats. The Property is a research, formulation, and development facility for the Tenant, which offers clinical manufacturing space, development laboratory space, and a range of features and capabilities to support drug delivery solutions. The DST investment benefits from having an experienced Tenant with a global client base and an attractive triple-net lease term.

Several key factors continue to drive demand for life sciences properties. Within the CDMO space, broad initiatives to re-shore biomanufacturing and other life sciences production activities to the U.S. have created significant demand for cutting-edge manufacturing facilities across the nation. The time and resources needed to create dedicated facilities for life sciences manufacturing leads many companies to look to CDMOs to support domestic production activities. This trend makes state-of-the-art U.S. manufacturing facilities occupied by active CDMOs, an attractive area for investment within the life sciences real estate sector.

"Within life sciences, we see long-term value in facilities that support the growth of high-demand biomanufacturing," said Matt McGraner, NexPoint Real Estate Advisors' Chief Investment Officer. "CDMOs play a major role in that, helping life sciences companies reduce time to market, increase capacity, and successfully navigate the path to commercialization, making opportunities to invest in CDMO-operated facilities especially compelling."

The Property is located in Woodbury, Minnesota within the Minneapolis/St. Paul/Bloomington Metropolitan Statistical Area (the "MSA"). The MSA is a hub for research and development in the medical technology field which is enhanced by the concentration of high-powered academic and medical institutions. The MSA has received over $6.7 billion in National Institutes of Health and venture capital funding since 2015³. This funding is not only indicative of its position as a leading life science market today, but also suggests a strong pipeline of future activity and growth, as recently funded research progresses toward commercialization.
