NEW YORK, May 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INDUS Realty Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDT) (“INDUS” or the “Company”) announced today that it closed on the acquisition of a fully-leased 127,500 square foot industrial/logistics building in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania market for a purchase price of $11.7 million before transaction costs. The Company used cash on hand to pay for this acquisition.
Michael Gamzon, President and Chief Executive Officer of INDUS commented, “We are thrilled to expand our presence in the core Lehigh Valley market with a building that is leased to a credit tenant. We believe this acquisition provides the opportunity to create significant value over time as the current in-place rent is below market and the excess land on the site provides options for potential future improvements. The building complements our existing 1.3 million square foot Lehigh Valley portfolio and is located in the same corporate park as our Ambassador Drive building.”
INDUS now owns approximately 1.4 million square feet across seven high quality industrial/logistics buildings in the Lehigh Valley which are 100% leased and have an average clear height of 32’and average building age of 10 years.
