BKM Capital Partners and Kayne Anderson Real Estate acquire a $1.8 billion portfolio of Light Industrial Assets. * 5 days ago Acquisition Adds 8.5 Million Square Feet Across National Platform, Positioning BKM and Kayne as one of the Largest Owner-Operators of Multi-Tenant Light Industrial Assets, and Marks Largest Light Industrial Transaction Since 2022 NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. and BOCA RATON, FL., June 3, 2026 - BKM Capital Partners ("BKM") and Kayne Anderson Real Estate ("Kayne"), today announced that they have acquired an 8.5-million-square-foot portfolio (the "Portfolio") from the Link Logistics portfolio for $1.81 billion. This acquisition will significantly expand the footprint and operating platform of the joint venture between Kayne and BKM (the "Joint Venture") across key U.S. markets. This transaction solidifies the Joint Venture as one of the largest owner-operators of multi-tenant light industrial assets in the U.S., which, inclusive of this transaction, is now approximately 15 million square feet under management. The Portfolio being acquired includes 51 multi-tenant light industrial properties across top-tier infill markets in California, Washington, Texas and Georgia, along with a dedicated operating infrastructure, including eight offices and 40 employees spanning property management, leasing, construction and property accounting. With this transaction, BKM will have significantly enhanced scale across several of the country's most important multi-tenant light industrial markets, strengthening its ability to leverage market density, local expertise and operating efficiencies to drive stronger execution and performance across the portfolio. The additions bring BKM to nearly 200 employees in 25 offices nationwide deepening its operating presence in several of the country's most important small- and mid-bay industrial markets. "At Kayne Anderson Real Estate, we continue to focus on sectors where we see durable demand drivers and the opportunity to create value through scale, vertical integration and operational expertise," said Al Rabil, Co-Founder and CEO of Kayne Anderson Real Estate. "Multi-tenant light industrial remains a highly fragmented segment with compelling fundamentals, and this transaction reflects our conviction in the strategy as well as our ability to partner with leading operators such as BKM to build differentiated platforms in attractive markets." "This acquisition marks the largest addition to BKM's platform to date and is representative of the strategy we have deployed in the multi-tenant light industrial space for years," said Brian Malliet, BKM's Founder, CEO and Chief Investment Officer. "It not only underscores the importance of deep operating expertise in this sector but also adds meaningful scale to our platform at a time when institutional interest in the light industrial segment is rapidly accelerating. This partnership combines Kayne Anderson Real Estate's institutional capital and long-term investment perspective with BKM's disciplined market-by-market execution and integrated, on-the-ground infrastructure that are essential to delivering a stronger day-to-day experience for our tenants and brokers." "We approached this as more than a real estate acquisition," said Brett Turner, Senior Managing Director, Acquisitions & Dispositions, at BKM. "Through historical knowledge, we developed a detailed understanding of the assets, the operating model behind them and the markets they serve. By the time the opportunity came together, there was already a high level of familiarity with the portfolio and confidence in BKM's ability to take it on." The portfolio is approximately 90% occupied and consists of nearly 2,000 units across 275 buildings, all located in infill submarkets within high-growth markets. BKM's business plan for the new properties includes targeted exterior upgrades, roof and HVAC work, market-ready improvements for vacant space and selective reconfiguration to reduce office buildout. Overall office buildout target is expected to decline from 37% to 33%, with more significant office conversion work planned at select assets. Nearly half of the assets, more than 4.6 million square feet across 27 properties, are located in California. Of those, some 3.1 million square feet are in Southern California, with eight assets in Los Angeles, eight in Orange County and three in the Inland Empire. Another 1.5 million square feet is located in eight properties in Northern California's East Bay submarket. A quarter of the portfolio, or 2.3 million square feet, is in Texas, with seven assets in Austin and four in Dallas. The deal also adds six properties totaling more than 900,000 square feet in Metro Seattle. In Georgia, which the firm entered earlier this year, BKM gained seven assets, bringing its Atlanta-area holdings to more than one million square feet. At the operating level, the acquisition expands BKM's local office footprint in several high-priority regions. The firm will add new eight new offices, including five in Los Angeles and Orange County, as well as new locations in San Jose and Austin. "The operational significance of this transaction is substantial," said Mason Waite, BKM's Senior Managing Director of Asset Management. "We are adding teams and market coverage that give us greater depth in key regions from day one. That should help us lease space more quickly, execute capital projects more efficiently, bring suites to market sooner and deliver a stronger day-to-day experience for tenants and brokers across the portfolio." For BKM, this is the latest step in a broader national growth strategy that combines targeted real estate acquisitions with selective platform-expansion opportunities. The firm intends to remain active on both fronts, pursuing high-quality small- and mid-bay assets while also evaluating opportunities that deepen its operating capabilities, market coverage and local execution platform. "We see continued opportunity to grow through disciplined real estate acquisitions and select platform opportunities that complement the core business, extend our reach and make the organization stronger over time," added Malliet. Truist Securities served as financial advisor to Kayne Anderson Real Estate. CBRE National Partners' Vice Chair, Darla Longo advised BKM in the transaction. BKM was represented internally by a team led by Brett Turner, Senior Managing Director, Acquisitions & Dispositions, with assistance from Michael Grossner, Senior Director of Acquisitions & Dispositions, and Charlie Farmer, Director of Acquisitions & Dispositions.
Industrial sector navigates e-commerce shifts amid record demand. April 5, 2026 RadCRE Research Industrial sector maintains momentum amidst evolving economic landscape. The industrial real estate sector continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and robust demand extending into Q2 2026, defying broader economic uncertainties. Driven by the sustained expansion of e-commerce, the imperative for supply chain optimization, and the increasing trend of reshoring manufacturing, logistics and warehouse facilities remain a top-tier asset class for institutional investors. Record low vacancy and escalating rents. According to recent reports from CoStar Group, national industrial vacancy rates hovered around a historically low 4.0% at the close of Q1 2026, a slight increase from late 2024 but still indicative of an undersupplied market. This tight market translates directly into significant rent growth. JLL's latest industrial outlook indicates that national industrial asking rents have increased by an average of 8-10% year-over-year in primary markets such as the Inland Empire, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta. These markets benefit from sprawling populations, robust port infrastructure, and extensive transportation networks. Investment sales activity and key transactions. Investment activity, while moderating slightly from its peak in 2022, remains strong, particularly for core and value-add assets. Institutional players continue to allocate significant capital to the sector. Prologis, a global leader in logistics real estate, recently announced several key acquisitions. In Q4 2025, Prologis acquired a portfolio of 2.1 million square feet of logistics facilities in the Chicago metropolitan area for an estimated $315 million, reflecting investor confidence in critical distribution hubs. Similarly, Blackstone's industrial platform, Link Logistics Real Estate, has continued to expand its footprint, notably with the forward acquisition of a 750,000 square-foot build-to-suit facility near Phoenix, Arizona, intended for a major e-commerce tenant, with an estimated project value exceeding $100 million. Challenges and opportunities: sustained development and automation. While demand persists, developers face challenges including rising construction costs, labor shortages, and increasingly complex entitlement processes in land-constrained markets. However, the secular tailwinds of e-commerce and supply chain resilience continue to spur new construction. In Q1 2026, approximately 120 million square feet of industrial space was delivered nationally, with another 500 million square feet under construction, demonstrating the industry's efforts to meet staggering demand, as reported by CBRE. Automation and advanced robotics are also becoming increasingly critical for optimizing facility operations and are a key consideration for new developments and retrofits.

Last-Mile logistics boom continues: cap rates compress amid e-commerce demand. March 26, 2026 Majid Radaei, RadCRE Last-Mile logistics boom continues: cap rates compress amid robust e-commerce demand. The insatiable demand for rapid delivery services continues to fuel an unprecedented boom in the last-mile logistics sector, driving significant investment and further compression of cap rates across the industrial real estate landscape. Despite broader economic headwinds, e-commerce penetration and evolving consumer expectations for expedited shipping have solidified the last-mile distribution center as a bedrock asset class for institutional investors. Market dynamics and cap rate compression. According to JLL's latest Industrial Outlook, the national average cap rate for industrial properties compressed to approximately 5.3% in Q4 2025, a notable decrease from 5.5% a year prior. This compression is even more pronounced in prime last-mile facilities located in major metropolitan areas, where some core stabilized assets have traded below 4.0%. For instance, in Q3 2025, BentallGreenOak acquired a portfolio of urban logistics assets in the Inland Empire and Dallas-Fort Worth markets for an undisclosed sum, with market speculation placing the cap rates for the most strategically located facilities firmly in the low-4% range, reflecting intense competition. Vacancy rates for industrial properties, particularly in urban infill locations critical for last-mile delivery, remain historically low. CoStar Group reported a national industrial vacancy rate of 4.1% as of Q1 2026, with key last-mile markets like Northern New Jersey (<3.0%) and Los Angeles (<2.5%) demonstrating even tighter conditions. This imbalance between supply and demand, coupled with persistent rent growth - which averaged 8.5% nationally year-over-year according to CBRE Research for Q4 2025 - is underpinning investor confidence and driving aggressive pricing. Increased investment and development. Major players like Prologis and Blackstone remain highly active, demonstrating continued conviction in the sector. Prologis recently announced plans to develop an additional 15 million square feet of logistics space globally in 2026, with a significant portion allocated to urban infill and last-mile focused projects. Similarly, Blackstone's industrial platform, Link Logistics, continues to expand its vast portfolio, often through strategic acquisitions of single assets and smaller portfolios that align with last-mile network optimization. A recent example is Link Logistics' acquisition of a 300,000 square foot distribution center in Phoenix from a private seller in Q1 2026, reportedly closing at a sub-4.5% cap rate. The influx of capital is not limited to mega-funds. Family offices and smaller private equity firms are increasingly targeting last-mile assets, recognizing the long-term demographic and technological trends supporting the sector. This broad investor base contributes to the robust bidding environment, further compressing yields. Building resilience and future Outlook. The perceived resilience of industrial logistics, particularly last-mile, stems from its direct linkage to consumer spending and the ongoing digital transformation of retail. While construction pipelines remain robust in some markets, rising construction costs and lengthy entitlement processes in urban cores act as natural barriers to entry, helping to maintain supply-demand equilibrium for premium last-mile locations. RadCRE perspective. "The last-mile industrial sector continues to be a darling for good reason, but investors must exercise extreme discipline," notes Majid Radaei, Founder of RAD Commercial Realty. "We are seeing cap rates for premier, urban infill facilities dip below 4%, and in some cases approaching 3.5%, particularly on long-term net-leased assets to credit tenants. While the rental growth prospects are undeniable, achieving these aggressive cap rates means you are betting heavily on continued exponential rent appreciation and minimal vacancy. Our analysis at RadCRE suggests that while this sector will remain strong, the margin for error is shrinking. We're advising clients to focus on true irreplaceable locations with strong population density and multiple access points, rather than simply chasing yield compression. The financing landscape for these deals is also evolving; bridge lenders are still active, but permanent debt at these price points requires exceptional property fundamentals and tenant quality to attract the most competitive agency or CMBS rates. We help our clients structure capital stacks that both capitalize on this demand while mitigating the inherent risks of ultra-low cap rates." RadCRE continues to advise clients on strategic acquisitions and dispositions within the industrial sector, leveraging its deep market insights and institutional-grade underwriting capabilities to identify value and optimize capital structures for last-mile assets.
