DALLAS, Feb. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Real Estate Income Trust Inc. ("INREIT"), an institutionally managed public non-listed REIT, announced today the acquisition of an industrial property and a grocery-anchored retail property. The combined purchase price was $94 million, bringing the gross assets of the INREIT portfolio to more than $850 million.

"There continues to be strong demand for the industrial sector, which is benefiting from both secular and cyclical tailwinds. Investing in industrial properties is a strategic objective for INREIT and we are committed to finding the best ideas within the sector," said R. Scott Dennis, President and Chief Executive Officer for INREIT. "We continue to have strong convictions that physical retail, such as grocery-anchored properties, have a role to play in portfolios and our approach remains selective when evaluating opportunities."

Industrial: 2919-2999 Lewis Centre Way, Grove City, Ohio

INREIT acquired a 95% interest in an industrial warehouse facility in the Columbus metropolitan area, where the market vacancy rate is currently below 2% for bulk distribution space. Built in 2000, the 378,283 square foot distribution facility is 100% leased. The property benefits from proximity to the international airport and rail, allowing for same-day and next-day deliveries throughout much of the country since Columbus is a one-day drive from 60% of the U.S. population. 

2919-2999 Lewis Centre Way represents INREIT's fourth industrial investment, deepening its activity in the sector. This industrial asset brings INREIT's industrial portfolio to over $85 million, providing a durable income stream with long-term leases. This acquisition is part of a joint venture with Trident Capital Group.

Grocery-Anchored Retail: Cortlandt Crossing, 3144 East Main Street, Cortlandt Manor, New York

INREIT acquired a 100% interest in Cortlandt Crossing, a newly constructed, high-quality grocery-anchored shopping center located in Westchester, New York.

INREIT's approach to the retail sector remains highly selective, with a focus on healthy demographics, high-quality trade areas and defensive grocery-anchored assets.
