JLL Income Property Trust Acquires Class A Industrial Asset in Suburban Boston
August 26, 2019 | JLL Income Property Trust | Prnewswire.com
JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) today announced the acquisition of Taunton Distribution Center, a 200,000 square foot Class A industrial asset located in Myles Standish Industrial Park, one of Greater Boston’s premier industrial “super parks.” The purchase price was $25.7 million.
The rise of technology and life science industries within the Boston metro market has resulted in significant population and income growth and a wave of new tenant migration to accommodate growing e-commerce demand. With a limited supply of Class A product, industrial vacancy rates have fallen to their lowest levels in history with net absorption remaining positive for 20 of the past 25 quarters.
The property is in close proximity to New England’s primary transportation corridors and population centers enjoying excellent access to the I-495 highway system with direct connectivity to service Boston, Providence, Worchester and the greater New England region. This is in line with JLL Income Property Trust’s strategic approach to invest in modern, strategically located properties. Set in Boston’s largest industrial submarket, the property is part of the Myles Standish Industrial Park which features more than six million square feet of warehouse, distribution, manufacturing and office space.
