Institutional fund manager BKM Capital Partners has acquired an 11-property industrial portfolio across Arizona, California and Portland for $425.4 million, in one of the year’s first large industrial deals.

Newport Beach, Calif.-based BKM has picked up eight of the assets through its BKM Industrial Value Fund II and the other three assets in partnership with the Canyon Catalyst Fund, a vehicle of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) managed by Canyon Partners Real Estate.

The transaction for the nearly 2.7 million square foot portfolio comes after BKM Capital Partners closed its second industrial value fund with $382 million in equity commitments last May.

BKM and Canyon Catalyst Fund have worked together before. In January 2018, the joint venture closed on the purchase of the 14-building, 352,280-square-foot Bayside Business Park in Fremont, Calif.
