Hines Global Income Trust Acquires Strategic Fulfillment Center Near Louisville, Kentucky

May 18, 2021

The deal marks the seventh investment in the logistics sector within the past year

(LOUISVILLE, KY) — Hines, the inter­na­tion­al real estate firm, is pleased to announce that Hines Glob­al Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Glob­al”) has acquired 900 Patrol Road, a 100%-leased e‑commerce ful­fill­ment cen­ter just north of down­town Louisville. A cen­tral­ly locat­ed logis­tics hub, Louisville is home to UPS World­port, three inter­state high­ways and two class-one railroads.

This facil­i­ty ben­e­fits from envi­able access to large U.S. pop­u­la­tion cen­ters and the rel­a­tive scarci­ty of devel­opable land across the Louisville MSA,” said Will Ren­ner, man­ag­ing direc­tor at Hines. We see Louisville as a key mar­ket for our con­tin­ued indus­tri­al activ­i­ty across the Mid­west, with rough­ly 100 mil­lion peo­ple reach­able with­in a nine-hour drive.”

Omar Thowfeek, Hines Global’s man­ag­ing direc­tor of invest­ments, said: Hines Glob­al con­tin­ues to be bull­ish on the indus­tri­al sec­tor and wel­comes the addi­tion of 900 Patrol Road to our port­fo­lio. This mis­sion-crit­i­cal e‑commerce facil­i­ty pro­vides us expo­sure to a large major­i­ty of the Mid­west, sup­port­ed by access to major high­way arte­ri­als and a deep labor pool.”
