Press Release Details

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19, 2016 /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 a 100% NNN leased, single-tenant industrial facility for approximately $15.55 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand.  

"This is another example of our ability to source and close attractive investment opportunities across our target infill Southern California submarkets, such as Central San Diego," stated Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. "We acquired this well-located, best-in-class property at an attractive initial yield, with longer-term rent upside by capitalizing on excess land and cross-dock loading, ideal for future ecommerce use. As we conclude 2016 and move into 2017, we remain focused on the execution of our internal and external growth strategies to drive sustained earnings-per-share growth and to create value for shareholders."

The Company acquired 9190 Activity Road, located within the Central San Diego submarket, for $15.5 million, or approximately $186.00 per square foot. The distribution facility contains 83,500 square feet on 6.24 acres and is currently 100% leased to a strong credit tenant, with more than six years remaining lease term. The property features an abundance of cross-dock loading, low site coverage, new contemporary offices and 22'-24' clearance. The property's favorable dock-high loading ratio provides superior utility compared to the submarket standard and the excess land allows for extra parking or trailer storage, ideal for ecommerce uses. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 80 million square foot Central San Diego submarket was 4.8% at the end of the third quarter, 2016.
