Boston-centered real estate financial commitment administration firm Rockpoint has shaped an industrial true estate system with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Financial investment Authority (ADIA).
The platform will focus on industrial expense opportunities symbolizing approximately $2 billion in gross asset benefit.
The new expense vehicle will focus primarily on build-to-core industrial investments in high barrier-to-entry locations across infill, demand-driven, gateway and growth markets in the U.S.
This platform follows Rockpoint’s announcement in February 2021 that the firm had formed a strategic partnership with industrial real estate investor and operator Ben Harris.
This strategic partnership has generated and is expected to continue to generate significant industrial investment opportunities for Rockpoint’s existing opportunistic and growth and income funds in addition to opportunities for the new platform. Mr. Harris is an industrial sector veteran with over 24 years of multi-cycle experience, and has acquired, developed and/or operated nearly 500 million square feet of industrial properties across 50 markets.
Concurrently, the platform announced the closing of its first investment, 865 Embedded Way, a 117,520 square foot, class A industrial development project on a 10.6-acre site, located in Silicon Valley’s supply-constrained South San Jose submarket.
“We are excited to partner with ADIA in a lower-risk vehicle that complements our existing funds and allows us to continue expanding our capabilities and platform in the industrial sector,” said Bill Walton, Co-Founder and Managing Member at Rockpoint.
Mohamed AlQubaisi, Executive Director of the Real Estate Department at ADIA, said, “We have built a sizeable portfolio of industrial real estate assets and continue to see attractive opportunities in the sector. This new platform with Rockpoint aligns with our approach of investing with proven partners to target specific areas of value.”
