FREEHOLD, N.J., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (Nasdaq: MNRTA) has announced the acquisition of a 184,317 square foot industrial building located in the Valwood Industrial Park at 2000 Luna Road, Dallas County, Carrollton, Texas, at a purchase price of approximately $17,900,000.  The property is net-leased through January 31, 2019 to Carrier Enterprise LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which assumed the original lease from Carrier Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which guarantees the lease agreement.

The building was constructed in 2009.  Darren Sides, Porthaven Partners LLC, acted as broker to Monmouth in this transaction.
