Chicago (March 5, 2018) - JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) today announced the results of its execution on a number of strategic initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2017, which helped drive operational and investment performance while positioning the company for future growth and enhanced stockholder value.
During the quarter, JLL Income Property Trust added a premier industrial asset to its portfolio, Mason Mill Distribution Center, a newly-constructed 340,000 square-foot Class A industrial property located in Atlanta’s northeast submarket of Buford, Georgia. The property is fully leased to a publicly-traded global pharmaceutical distribution company through 2027. This acquisition represents the 28th property investment the company has made in the Industrial sector representing an investment of over $560 million. Industrial properties now represent 23 percent of the overall portfolio.
“This quarter our sustained focus on delivering strong investment performance was evident as we celebrated our five-year track record with a 7.15 percent net return since inception on our Class M shares - a result that we are very proud of,” said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “The acquisition of a
fortress asset in a target industrial market this quarter, and the increase in our allocation to this high-performing property sector is another example of how we continue to deliver on our investment strategy.”
JLL Income Property Trust ended the fourth quarter with $2.6 billion in total assets made up of a geographically diversified portfolio of 69 core properties spanning the apartment, retail, industrial and office property sectors. The portfolio is highly leased with an overall occupancy of 94 percent, and an average remaining lease term of 6.3 years, supporting JLL Income Property Trust’s investment objectives of generating attractive income for distribution to stockholders.
