The buildings are located at 4441 W. Polk St., 120 E. Watkins St., 4720 W. Van Buren St. and 5240 and 5302 W. Buckeye Rd. (Freeport Distribution Center). The portfolio buyer is KKR.

“These were the first building acquisitions I completed when we established the LPC Desert West office in Phoenix in 2001,” said LPC Senior Executive Vice President David Krumwiede.

 “They are a perfect example of our investment model, which is to purchase and build quality assets in excellent locations, and maintain them at the highest institutional level.

"We have owned and managed these buildings for decades, and timed their sale to maximize gains for our investment clients.”

According to LPC data, year-over-year industrial absorption has nearly doubled in Phoenix, rising from 6.43 million in 2019 to 12.7 million in 2020.

More than 14.45 million square feet of industrial product was delivered in Phoenix in 2020, with construction activity expected to continue in order to keep pace with a growing demand.

Buildings within the LPC portfolio sale were constructed between 1980 and 1990, with 24- to 28-foot clear height, dock high and grade level doors, and generous parking ratios.
