EQT Real Estate Logistics Value Fund VI and EQT Real Estate Industrial Core-Plus Fund IV have acquired an 11-building, 4.8 million-square-foot logistics portfolio across five major U.S. distribution markets. Hillwood previously owned the assets, according to Yardi Matrix information.

The Class A properties are in Central Pennsylvania; Houston; Greenville-Spartanburg, S.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Indianapolis. Each metro is “a key node in the national supply chain network,” according to the buyer.

Big bites of logistics space

It was barely two weeks ago that EQT acquired another industrial portfolio consisting of 11 properties, but in that case all concentrated in New Jersey. That collection totals about 894,000 square feet.

And in August, EQT purchased a portfolio-sized property near Columbus, Ohio, from Red Rock Developments. The 945,400-square-foot building sold for $89.1 million in a deal brokered by Colliers.

EQT Real Estate owns and operates more than 2,000 logistics and residential properties in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Its global portfolio spans 400 million square feet.
