"Louisville's transformation from a regional distribution market to a global center of e-commerce, largely attributable to the $1 billion, 5.2 million square foot UPS Worldport facility, is evidenced by the presence of major e-commerce users such as eBay, Amazon, Zappos, Gilt Group, and many others," said Michael Brennan, Chairman and Co-Founder of Brennan Investment Group.  "The benefits to the industrial real estate market are manifested in seven consecutive years of positive absorption and a 96.2% occupancy rate."

This acquisition is illustrative of Brennan Investment Group's strategy to acquire functional, well-located assets, in key distribution markets with the ability to add value through repositioning and leasing. The seller, Principal Real Estate Investors, was represented by Kevin Grove of CBRE Louisville.

Tradeport I marks TriGate's second acquisition with Brennan, and first investment in Louisville.  "The investment thesis is indicative of TriGate's strategy of acquiring REO property in markets with strong real estate fundamentals," said Jason Obenhaus, Vice President at TriGate Capital.  "We are happy to be investing with Brennan Investment Group, a highly experienced operator and manager of industrial real estate."
