– Adds Two Highly Occupied Properties in High Demand Submarkets –

– Year-to-Date Acquisition Volume Surpasses $142 Million –

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 facilities for a total of approximately $14.6 million. The acquisitions were funded with cash and borrowings under the company’s credit facility.

“These two acquisitions further demonstrate our ability to source and acquire well-located and high demand industrial properties in off-market or lightly-marketed transactions throughout our core infill markets,” said Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. “Both properties feature excess paved secured land, in high-demand locations, which position the facilities for market-leading rents, and may offer opportunities to create additional value over time. With these investments, we have acquired over $142 million of industrial properties in 2015, and our pipeline opportunities remain strong as we look to further expand our platform.

In July, Rexford acquired Lakeland, an 18,995 square foot industrial building situated on 2.87 acres, in Santa Fe Springs, for $4.973 million. The prime corner lot has high visibility on Norwalk Boulevard, one of the central arteries of Santa Fe Springs. The 100% occupied, 24’ clear building was acquired in an off-market transaction and features a two-story office with both dock-high and ground level loading. In addition, the property provides over 80,000 square feet of excess developable paved land in one of the strongest submarkets in Southern California. Santa Fe Springs is located in the Mid Counties submarket, which contains approximately 109 million square feet of industrial space. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate was 1.4% at the end of the second quarter of 2015.

In August, the Company acquired Port Hueneme, a two-building 86,904 square foot industrial complex, for approximately $9.6 million, or about $111 per square foot. The multi-tenant project is currently 91.3% leased, and was acquired in a lightly marketed transaction from a private owner. Located on highly-trafficked Hueneme Road in southern Oxnard, the property attracts tenants who support the nearby Port Hueneme and associated Naval operations, and is the only multi-tenant industrial park in Oxnard providing secure storage yards for small users. Oxnard is located in the Ventura submarket, which contains approximately 63 million square feet of industrial space. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate was approximately 3.9% at the end of the second quarter of 2015.
