Winstead PC advised various entities advised by Crow Holdings Capital Partners, L.L.C. in the sale of 15 supply chain logistics warehouse and distribution facilities to PGIM Real Estate in a portfolio transaction valued at $425 million. The transaction has been reported by numerous sources as one of the largest industrial transactions in the COVID-19 pandemic era.
Shareholder Greg Zimmerman and Associates Jani Lotz, Perry Klauber and Harrison Papaila represented the entities advised by Crow Holdings Capital Partners, L.L.C. during the 4.7 million-square-foot sale, which includes buildings in Dallas, Fort Worth, Denver, Atlanta, and Phoenix.
“This transaction went to market in the pre-COVID-19 era of 2020 and the number of qualified purchasers was controlled due to the portfolio value,” Zimmerman said. “The pricing survived the spring shut-down of the economy because of the incredible opportunity to acquire top-of-class supply chain logistics properties in key markets.”
A subsidiary of Prudential Financial, PGIM Real Estate is one of the largest real estate managers in the world. The Dallas Morning News reported that “all the buildings purchased from the entities advised by Crow Holdings Capital Partners, L.L.C. are newly constructed or still under construction and are located in key U.S. distribution markets.”
Jani Lotz, who led the seller legal team in the closing process, said the deal was completed with “an incredible team effort to simultaneously close multiple property sales in four different states.”
