Press Release Details

LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2017 /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 an industrial property for approximately $16.5 million.  Additionally, the Company announced the disposition of an industrial property for approximately $6.9 million. Proceeds from the disposition and borrowings under the Company's line of credit were used to fund the acquisition.

"We continue to source and close accretive investments with stable cash flows in our supply-constrained target infill Southern California submarkets, and, in this case, we were able to efficiently recycle proceeds from the sale of a non-core asset," stated Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company.  "We acquired the property through an off-market transaction, 100% leased by two entrenched tenants, providing an attractive yield.  As we progress through 2017 and beyond, we remain excited about our pipeline of opportunities and are focused on executing our internal and external growth initiatives to create long term value for shareholders."

The Company acquired 2390 Ward Avenue, located in Simi Valley within the Ventura County submarket, for approximately $16.5 million, or approximately $119 per square foot.  The highly-functional property contains 138,700 square feet on 8.07 acres and is leased at below-market rates.  The modern building features 28' clear height, an above-standard dock-high door ratio and excess parking with low site coverage.  According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 63 million square foot Ventura County submarket was 2.4% at the end of the first quarter, 2017.

Separately, the Company sold 9375 Archibald Avenue for approximately $6.9 million, or $110 per square foot.  The property includes multiple buildings comprising 62,677 square feet, located in the Inland Empire West submarket.  Proceeds from the sale were used in a tax deferred 1031 exchange to fund a portion of the Ward Avenue acquisition.
