JLL has closed the $157.8 million sale of a five-property industrial portfolio consisting of five buildings in East Point and Peachtree Corners, GA plus seven buildings stretched across Central Fl and Houston, TX. The portfolio totals 1.27 million square feet.

Dennis Mitchell, Trent Agnew and Louis Castillo of JLL represented the seller, St. Louis, MO-based Summit Real Estate Group. Boston, MA-based Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC, acquired the portfolio.

The assets comprise Class A and B distribution centers and shallow bay properties. Occupancy across the portfolio is 98% leased to a variety of public and private companies, including Raytheon, Iron Mountain and DAP Americas.

“The JLL team saw strong demand for this core/core plus industrial offering due to the ability to acquire critical mass in infill locations across Atlanta, Houston and Central FL,” said Mitchell. “The portfolio had a unique profile due to its 2.7-year WALT on existing assets, allowing for a short-term mark-to-market opportunity with committed tenancy.”
