Plymouth Industrial REIT Closes Acquisition of Chicago-Area Industrial Portfolio for $99.75 Million

BOSTON—(December 4, 2017) Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE American: PLYM) today announced it has closed on the previously announced acquisition of a 15-building, 3.0 million-square-foot Class B industrial portfolio in the Chicago area for $99.75 million in total consideration from BIGS Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs. The purchase price includes $19.95 million in cash and a $79.8 million, two-year secured term loan at an initial interest rate of 4.35% from an affiliate of the seller. The acquisition is projected to provide an initial yield of 8.1%.

Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “This transaction significantly expands our presence in the greater Chicago market. We now own over 3.5 million square feet there, averaging about 95% occupancy across 21 properties. We feel very positive about the market and our ability to maintain strong tenancies and grow rental revenue over the next few years.”

The portfolio consists of ten single-tenant buildings totaling approximately 2.0 million square feet and five multi-tenant buildings totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet. The buildings are collectively 96% leased to a diverse mix of manufacturing and distribution tenants with strong credit, long histories in their locations and heavy capital investment in their space. The portfolio is well balanced with a weighted average lease term of 4.1 years remaining, with an average of less than 14% of the leases expiring each year during the next five years.
