The asset was acquired on behalf of the Longpoint Fund III fund which targets small to medium-sized industrial assets.

Silicon Valley Portfolio

“This well-located, highly functional industrial portfolio complements our strategy of investing in properties situated within flourishing markets that have long-term value and growth potential.�

The Newmark Western Region team handled the transaction.

“The Silicon Valley Industrial Portfolio generated substantial investor interest, further highlighting the demand for shallow bay industrial product,â€� said Newmark’s Steven Golubchik.

“We are excited to see Longpoint’s future success with the asset, as this is its first acquisition in the San Francisco Bay Area.�

Newmark’s Joe Kelly, who serves as the leasing adviser for the portfolio, said: â€œThese properties are the perfect investment case study. They’re functional and part of a shrinking multi-tenant industrial building base, as well as being surrounded by flourishing industry, a new BART station and other progressive land uses.â€�
