Tenants in the portfolio include FedEx Ground, a multinational courier delivery services company; XPO Logistics, one of the top 10 global providers of supply chain transportation and logistics services; Conagra Foods, a packaged foods company that produces and distributes food products to supermarkets, restaurants and other food establishments; and Spectrum, a provider of consumer cable television, internet, telephone and wireless services.

"With the rapid growth of e-commerce driving increased demand for industrial assets nationwide, this portfolio underscores our ability to identify and then execute on long-term, secular trends in real estate," added Herb Myers, Managing Director in Real Estate Investment at Investcorp. "The properties in this portfolio offer convenient access to major highways and railways, which is one key factor driving the long-term tenancies at these properties that average 15 years across the portfolio."
