Arden Group, Arcapita Target $2B of Acquisitions with Industrial JV

Bahrain-based Arcapita Group Holdings and Philadelphia-based Arden Group have formed a joint venture to acquire multi-tenant industrial properties in urban centers across major U.S. markets. The new venture closed on an initial portfolio of properties valued at over $550 million, with an additional $250 million of properties closing in the near term. Plans are to grow the portfolio to up to $2 billion across the top 25 US industrial markets. 

The venture’s initial portfolio totals approximately five million square feet across 18 industrial parks, located in seven US markets: Atlanta, Charlotte, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis. 

“This niche industrial sector has been a thematic investment strategy for Arden and continues to provide attractive cash yields,” said Craig A. Spencer, Arden chairman and CEO. “We are pleased to align with Arcapita, a trusted and proven strategic partner, which shares our long-term vision for the asset class more broadly.”
