Rockpoint Expands Industrial Footprint in North Carolina with Six-Building Portfolio Acquisition
Event summary
- Rockpoint acquired six light industrial buildings totaling 279,507 square feet in Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina.
- The Garner Commerce Center (128,006 sq ft) is 91% leased to 16 tenants, while the I-77 Commerce Center (151,501 sq ft) is fully operational.
- Rockpoint has invested in 17 million square feet of industrial space since 2020, including recent acquisitions in Virginia and Durham, North Carolina.
The big picture
Rockpoint's acquisition underscores the firm's focus on high-quality, infill light industrial assets in growth markets. The Southeast, particularly North Carolina, continues to attract significant industrial investment due to its logistics and distribution advantages. With $81 billion in total peak capitalization across 512 transactions since 1994, Rockpoint is leveraging its scale and expertise to capitalize on market inefficiencies.
