Dallas, TX – Hillwood Investment Properties, a Perot company, together with Brookfield Asset Management, has acquired two Class A industrial facilities totaling 1.8 million square feet in the Baltimore, MD market.
Built in 2005, the 756,690-square-foot facility at 451 Fletchwood Road, Elkton, MD is located on 71 acres in Broadlands Business Park. The facility at 238 Belvidere Road in Perryville, MD, was developed in 2003 and totals 1,004,000 square feet on 71 acres.
Both facilities have been built, managed and maintained to meet the highest institutional standards. The well-designed, concrete tilt-up buildings feature 28′ to 30′ clear heights, ample dock high loading doors, large truck courts with abundant trailer storage and future cross dock functionality. The Belvidere Road facility in Perryville has active rail access that is served by CSX Railway.
“Given the Class A nature of the buildings and high credit quality of the tenants, these properties are a great addition to the Hillwood-Brookfield portfolio,” said Tom Fishman, Hillwood’s Executive Vice President of Acquisitions.
The properties are strategically located within Baltimore’s I-95 North corridor industrial submarket, which consists of Hartford and Cecil counties. The location offers convenient access to I-95, the primary highway serving the U.S. Northeast population center that links to one-third of the U.S. population within a one-day truck drive. The area benefits from a deep labor pool, growing population and desirable quality of life of the Baltimore/Washington metro area.
“We are pleased to add these state-of-the-art properties to our expanding presence in the U.S. Northeast industrial sector,” said Gary Frederick, Hillwood’s Senior Vice President and Northeast Market Officer.
