Newmark arranges $207.5M sale for 19-property logistics portfolio

Newmark Group Inc. has structured the sale and a $150.9 million acquisition loan for a 19-property logistics portfolio, signaling continued strong appetite for industrial real estate in core US markets. The 1.38-million-square-foot portfolio was acquired by a joint venture of Dalfen Industrial and a global asset manager from Mapletree Investments for $207.5 million.

"This transaction highlights the strong appetite for prime logistics properties across key U.S. markets," Jack Fraker, Newmark's President and Global Head of Industrial & Logistics Capital Markets, said. "By connecting a high-quality, well-leased set of assets with investors seeking strategic, in-demand locations, we were able to deliver a seamless transaction."

The portfolio is over 94 percent leased and consists of shallow bay facilities concentrated in four major distribution hubs: Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. The properties feature clear heights up to 28 feet and versatile loading configurations. The acquisition was supported by a $150.9 million loan from Wells Fargo, arranged by Newmark's debt and structured finance team.

The deal lands in a market showing renewed strength. According to Newmark Research, US industrial sales volume rose 12 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2025, with transaction activity hitting its highest level since 2022. This suggests that despite broader economic pressures, investor demand for well-positioned industrial assets with high occupancy remains a key theme in commercial real estate. The concentration of assets in Dallas-Fort Worth (13 of 19 properties) anchors the portfolio in one of the nation's most active logistics corridors.
