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 a single-tenant industrial building as well as a 10.26 acre paved storage facility for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.4 million. The funding of both acquisitions was completed with cash on hand.

“These two off-market acquisitions further demonstrate our ability to source and close well-located, high-quality industrial properties within our high-demand infill Southern California markets,” said Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. “Each investment provides Rexford Industrial an accretive opportunity to achieve above-market stabilized returns. These acquisitions bring our year-to-date acquisition volume to $67.8 million, as we continue to assess an expansive pipeline of potential opportunities under active consideration as we move forward.”

Arthur Street

In May, 2015, Rexford Industrial acquired 16221 Arthur Street, a 61,372 square foot building on 2.83 acres, for $5.8 million, or $94 per square foot. The single-tenant industrial building is located in Cerritos, within the Los Angeles Mid-Counties submarket. Rexford Industrial acquired the property at what it believes is a significant discount to market value through execution of a tenant purchase option, effectively assigned to the Company by the tenant. At closing, the Company executed a lease with the existing tenant for 100% of the property through 2020. The property is centrally located within a master planned, institutionally owned business park. According to CBRE, the availability rate in the 108.7 million square foot Los Angeles Mid-Counties submarket stood at 1.4% as of the first quarter of 2015.

Norwalk Boulevard

In late-April, 2015, Rexford Industrial acquired 9615 Norwalk Boulevard, a 10.26 acre paved land storage facility in Santa Fe Springs, within the Los Angeles Mid-Counties submarket, for $9.6 million, or $22 per square foot of land. The 447,000 square foot storage facility also includes a 26,362 industrial building and a 12,000 square foot, two-story office building. The tenant will vacate the property upon lease expiration in June 2015, which allows Rexford to deliver highly-sought-after yard storage in a high-demand, supply constrained market. According to CBRE, the availability rate in the 108.7 million square foot Los Angeles Mid-Counties submarket stood at 1.4% as of the first quarter of 2015.
