MIAMI, FL –  JLL Capital Markets brokered the approximately $25.8 million sale of PODS Tampa, a 154,490-square-foot portfolio comprising three fully leased industrial warehouses in the Tampa, Florida MSA.

 

JLL facilitated the sale on behalf of Ultimate Realty, LLC, who structured a long-term lease at market rents as part of the business plan execution. Institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management acquired the portfolio.

Situated in the sought-after East Side and South Pinellas submarkets, the properties include two buildings totaling 54,390 square feet at 1871 Massaro Blvd. and a 100,100-square-foot facility at 3705 62nd Ave N. 

Built in 2004 and 2007, the properties feature 28- to 38-foot clear heights, eight oversized grade-level doors and climate-controlled warehouses.

These assets also boast superior connectivity to Tampa's major transportation arteries, situated just off US-301 with direct access to I-275 and I-75.

 The entire portfolio is leased to PODS, one of the largest mobile self-storage companies in the nation. Founded in Tampa Bay in 1998, PODS maintains its headquarters in the area and has grown to employ over 3,000 people, facilitating more than six million moves.

The JLL Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Managing Director Luis Castillo, Senior Director Cody Brais and Associate Taylor Osborne.

"This sale exemplifies the enduring appeal of strategically located industrial assets in Tampa's supply-constrained market," said Brais.

Castillo added, "The combination of prime infill locations, high barriers to entry and a credit tenant with a long-term commitment made this an attractive investment opportunity."

“Although Ultimate Realty’s strategy tends to favor longer term holds, we saw this as a compelling opportunity to capitalize on our successful execution of the business plan for this asset and deliver superior risk-adjusted returns to our investors,” said Joe Sabbagh, Founder of Ultimate Realty, LLC. “Per our current portfolio and recent investment activities, we remain bullish on the outlook for (last-mile) industrial properties in Florida.”
