An affiliate of <strong>DRA Advisors <\/strong>purchased the 37-asset collection for $194.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio, Twinbridge Industrial Park, also known as the Twinbridge Center, is located in Pennsauken, N.J., in proximity to Center City Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Twinbridge Industrial Park houses more than 50 companies. Some of the center&#8217;s tenants include Lennox, Nestle Waters, Cooper Electric, PepsiCo, Krannich and KONE. The majority of the properties are fully leased.<\/p>\n<p>Buildings within Twinbridge Industrial Park range in size from less than 10,000 square feet to more than 75,000 square feet. Assets offer amenities such as drive-in dock doors and clear heights of as much as 24 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Tenants are in proximity to dining, entertainment and retail opportunities in Center City Philadelphia, as well as throughout Camden County. Route 73 and U.S. Route 130 offer access to the larger New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas, while connecting the property to greater northeastern distribution routes.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the seller\u2019s three-year ownership of the industrial portfolio, rents increased more than 100 percent. Approximately 80 percent internal rate of return was achieved by the sellers in the deal.<\/p>\n<p>The sale marks one of New Jersey\u2019s largest industrial deals so far in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CBRE<\/strong>\u2019s Brad Ruppel, Mike Hines and Liam Fahey and <strong>Colliers<\/strong>&#8216; Marc Isdaner and Ian Richman represented the sellers in the transaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PGIM Real Estate\u00a0<\/strong>provided DRA Advisors $103 million in fixed-rate financing for the acquisition.
