Industrial Outdoor Ventures Forges JV with Stockbridge

Schaumburg, IL-based Industrial Outdoor Ventures (IOV), reportedly the first national real estate investor focused exclusively on outdoor storage facilities, and its equity sponsor BLG Capital Advisors completed a recapitalization and go-forward joint venture with San Francisco-based Stockbridge. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.

IOV sold a significant interest in its 26 building, 93% leased national Industrial Service Facilities portfolio to Stockbridge. The properties are located in major markets throughout the U.S., including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix and Southern California.

Stockbridge, BLG and IOV have committed to continue growing the portfolio, with plans to make $100 to $200 million in property acquisitions per year. IOV will manage the portfolio and future investments.

CIBC Bank as lead, along with a group of co-lenders, provided a new $145-million credit facility to the venture. CBRE National Partners, led by Mike Caprile, Zach Graham and Ryan Bain, arranged the recapitalization and JV.
