In February, Nuveen Real Estate launched its U.S. Cities Multifamily Fund to acquire and manage premium assets in select markets. The first fund to close is anchored by a $450 million capital commitment and seed portfolio from a third-party investor, alongside a $100 million co-investment from TIAA, Nuveen\u2019s parent company.<\/p>\n<p>In this climate, identifying assets for acquisition poses a challenge, particularly in primary markets, and buyers are responding by casting a wider net. Industrial transactions increased 5.1 percent in secondary markets and 6.2 percent in tertiary markets against five-year averages, according to JLL\u2019s Industrial Investment Outlook for the first quarter. JLL expects few industrial deals to exceed $500 million this year and speculates that investors will be chasing mostly single-market or smaller portfolios in the $150 million to $500 million range.<\/p>\n<p>CenterSquare Investment Management seeks out older manufacturing facilities to modernize for its industrial portfolio. The assets offer attractive pricing and returns, and also tend to draw relatively few prospective buyers compared to coveted newer properties, reported Scott Crowe, the firm\u2019s chief investment strategist.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004341271\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004341271\" data-attachment-id=\"1004341271\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/sector-by-sector-real-estate-review\/dwight-angelini\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dwight Angelini\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Dwight Angelini&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg?w=800\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1004341271 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg\" alt=\"Dwight Angelini\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/07\/Dwight-Angelini.jpg?resize=768,595 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004341271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dwight Angelini, Co-founder &amp; Managing Partner, Longpoint Realty Partners. <em>Image courtesy of Longpoing Realty Partners<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Longpoint Realty Partners invests in 10 cities along the East Coast and in Texas, focusing on industrial properties and grocery-anchored retail centers in areas with job growth and a strong university presence.

One factor is the migration of older Millennials from the cities to the suburbs as they start families.

Last year, CenterSquare paid $19.8 million for Southtown Center, a 43,669-square-foot retail property with tenants including Moe\u2019s Southwest Grill, Hair Cuttery and DaVita Dialysis.<\/p>\n<p>Longpoint also invests in neighborhood shopping centers, usually grocery-anchored properties of less than 150,000 square feet in size with 15 to 20 tenants. In Nashville, Longpoint bought an 80,000-square-foot center anchored by a Barnes &amp; Noble and is choosing a grocer to backfill 20,000 square feet.
