LOS ANGELES , July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the "Company" or "Rexford Industrial") (NYSE: REXR), a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating industrial properties located in Southern California infill markets, today announced the acquisition of two industrial properties for $20.3 million. The acquisitions were funded using available cash on hand.

"These acquisitions demonstrate our ongoing ability to source attractive investment opportunities in the supply-constrained and very fragmented infill Southern California industrial submarkets," stated Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. "Norwalk Boulevard is a modern industrial building in a highly-sought-after, supply-constrained submarket, and Avenue Sherman is a vacant high-quality property providing an immediate value-add opportunity. We continue to execute our unique, value-driven business model as a local sharp-shooter consolidating a premier industrial property portfolio in infill Southern California, the nation's largest and highest-demand industrial market."

The Company acquired 10747 Norwalk Boulevard, located in Santa Fe Springs within the LA – Mid-Counties submarket for $10.8 million, or $206 per square foot. The single-tenant building contains 52,691 square feet on 2.56 acres of land and is leased at a below-market rate to a strong tenant. The 24-foot clear modern building is located at a major intersection in a supply-constrained submarket.  According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 112 million square foot LA – Mid-Counties submarket was 1.6% at the end of the second quarter 2018.

Rexford Industrial also acquired 29003 Avenue Sherman, located in Valencia within the LA – San Fernando Valley submarket, for $9.5 million, or $139 per square foot. The modern building contains 68,123 square feet on 2.78 acres of land and features 26' clear height with ESFR fire sprinklers. The Company intends to renovate the currently vacant, single-tenant property by performing cosmetic and functional enhancements. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 174 million square foot LA – San Fernando Valley submarket was 1.5% at the end of the second quarter 2018.
