San Francisco-based Prologis’ deal will expand its reach in key markets including Atlanta and parts of California ,Property owners have been snapping up warehouses in recent years, lured in part by the rise in e-commerce. But the broader commercial real estate sector has come under pressure over the past year as borrowing costs rose, complicating the financing for certain owners.
The sale will allow Blackstone’s opportunistic funds, which buy properties with the goal to maximize their value, to cash out. Blackstone’s Nadeem Meghji, who leads the real estate business in the Americas, said logistics properties remain a “high conviction theme” for the company.
