Hines Global Income Trust Acquires Logistics Center in Columbus

100% Leased Distribution Center Underscores Hines’ Industrial Growth in the Midwest

(COLUM­BUS, OH) – Hines, the glob­al real estate invest­ment, devel­op­ment, and prop­er­ty man­ag­er, announced that Hines Glob­al Income Trust, Inc. (“HGIT”) has acquired I‑70 Logis­tics Cen­ter locat­ed at 9157 Mink Street SW in Colum­bus, Ohio, a dis­tri­b­u­tion cen­ter that is 100% leased to a third-par­ty logis­tics provider. With a diver­si­fied port­fo­lio of glob­al assets, this acqui­si­tion strength­ens HGIT’s robust logis­tics sec­tor allo­ca­tion and expands its pres­ence in the Mid­west. HGIT has a $3.9 bil­lion port­fo­lio of com­mer­cial real estate invest­ments that is more than 63% weight­ed toward the indus­tri­al and liv­ing sectors.

The Class A, 700,000-square-foot logis­tics cen­ter, com­plet­ed this year, fea­tures 40-foot clear heights, 6000amp pow­er, advanced robot­ics, ample car and trail­er park­ing, and dual cor­ner office build­outs. It is strate­gi­cal­ly locat­ed with easy access to two of the largest U.S. rail providers, reach­ing rough­ly 60% of the North Amer­i­can pop­u­la­tion with­in a one-day dri­ve, and is poised to ben­e­fit from the recent­ly announced Intel com­put­er chip man­u­fac­tur­ing facil­i­ty to be built near Colum­bus.

​“I‑70 Logis­tics Cen­ter’s strate­gic loca­tion in a strong sub­mar­ket, sup­port­ed by access to major high­way arte­ri­als and a deep labor pool, makes it an attrac­tive invest­ment for HGIT,” said Alfon­so Munk, Hines’ CIO of the Amer­i­c­as and pres­i­dent of HGIT. ​“Adding this Class A logis­tics prod­uct to our port­fo­lio, which is well-posi­tioned for con­tin­ued growth, bol­sters our port­fo­lio in the Mid­west and show­cas­es our dis­ci­plined invest­ment strat­e­gy.”

​“We have stud­ied the indus­tri­al mar­ket in Colum­bus at length, as it is one of the fastest-grow­ing Mid­west cities based on gross domes­tic prod­uct, job growth, and pop­u­la­tion,” said Will Ren­ner, man­ag­ing direc­tor at Hines. ​“We view Colum­bus as a key mar­ket for Hines’ grow­ing indus­tri­al plat­form going for­ward.”

HGIT is diver­si­fied by geog­ra­phy and real estate sec­tors, with a focus on sta­ble assets with strong long-term income poten­tial. Ed Hal­aburt and Ross Bratch­er of JLL Cap­i­tal Mar­kets rep­re­sent­ed the sell­er in the transaction.
