EQT Real Estate Buys 2.4 Million-Sq-Ft Southeast Logistics Portfolio Across 3 U.S. Markets

3 articles · Updated · Cision News · Jun 10

Summary

  • Three fully leased Class A industrial buildings in Savannah, Jacksonville and Lakeland were acquired by EQT Real Estate through its Industrial Value Fund VI.
  • The 2.4 million-square-foot portfolio sits near major freight nodes—about five miles from the Port of Savannah, close to JAXPORT, and along Florida’s I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando.
  • EQT said the deal fits its strategy of targeting high-quality logistics assets in supply-constrained growth markets, where population gains, port activity and supply-chain modernization are supporting demand.
  • Port volumes underscore that backdrop: Savannah handled 5.7 million TEUs in 2025, while JAXPORT moved more than 10 million tons of cargo.
  • The seller was a Brookfield affiliate, with JLL advising on the transaction; EQT said it will apply active management to support long-term performance and occupier resilience.
