Sagard Real Estate acquires Class A distribution facility near the Port of Baltimore. Sagard Real Estate (SRE), a leading U.S.-based real estate investment advisor and subsidiary of Sagard, has announced the $91 million acquisition of 7001 Quad Avenue, a 621,144-square-foot Class A distribution facility in Rosedale, Maryland. Located in Baltimore County East, the region's largest industrial submarket, the asset is fully leased to users across food and beverage distribution and third-party logistics. Built in 2004 on 32 acres, the cross-dock facility is designed for high-volume distribution and features modern industrial specifications, including 34-foot clear heights, ample loading capacity, efficient truck circulation, and trailer parking. 7001 Quad Avenue is located near the convergence of Interstates 95, 695, and 895, approximately five miles from the Port of Baltimore's Seagirt and Dundalk marine terminals and downtown Baltimore. The location also provides connectivity to Baltimore/Washington International Airport and the broader Baltimore-Washington corridor. "This large-scale logistics asset would be difficult to replicate in an infill port market," said Belah Terentjev, Director, Acquisitions at Sagard Real Estate. "The building's cross-dock design, loading capacity and trailer parking support high-throughput operations, while access to the Port of Baltimore and the region's interstate network will drive sustainable demand from distribution and logistics users over the long term." Baltimore County East comprises of ~44M square feet of industrial space and benefits from a combination of supply constraints, transportation connectivity and proximity to the Port of Baltimore, which are expected to support strong industrial fundamentals over the long term. The acquisition reflects Sagard Real Estate's continued investment in high-quality industrial properties located in supply-constrained markets with strong transportation infrastructure.
