Hines Global Income Trust Acquires Logistics Center in Columbus

August 16, 2023 | Hines

Hines, the global real estate investment, development, and property manager, announced that Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“HGIT”) has acquired I-70 Logistics Center located at 9157 Mink Street SW in Columbus, Ohio, a distribution center that is 100% leased to a third-party logistics provider. With a diversified portfolio of global assets, this acquisition strengthens HGIT’s robust logistics sector allocation and expands its presence in the Midwest. HGIT has a $3.9 billion portfolio of commercial real estate investments that is more than 63% weighted toward the industrial and living sectors.

The Class A, 700,000-square-foot logistics center, completed this year, features 40-foot clear heights, 6000amp power, advanced robotics, ample car and trailer parking, and dual corner office buildouts. It is strategically located with easy access to two of the largest U.S. rail providers, reaching roughly 60% of the North American population within a one-day drive, and is poised to benefit from the recently announced Intel computer chip manufacturing facility to be built near Columbus.

“I-70 Logistics Center’s strategic location in a strong submarket, supported by access to major highway arterials and a deep labor pool, makes it an attractive investment for HGIT,” said Alfonso Munk, Hines’ CIO of the Americas and president of HGIT. “Adding this Class A logistics product to our portfolio, which is well-positioned for continued growth, bolsters our portfolio in the Midwest and showcases our disciplined investment strategy.”

“We have studied the industrial market in Columbus at length, as it is one of the fastest-growing Midwest cities based on gross domestic product, job growth, and population,” said Will Renner, managing director at Hines. “We view Columbus as a key market for Hines’ growing industrial platform going forward.”

HGIT is diversified by geography and real estate sectors, with a focus on stable assets with strong long-term income potential.   Ed Halaburt and Ross Bratcher of JLL Capital Markets represented the seller in the transaction.
