LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company” or “Rexford Industrial”) (NYSE:REXR), a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating industrial properties located in Southern California infill markets, today announced that it has acquired a three-building industrial complex in Los Angeles, California for $11.9 million, or approximately $187 per square foot. The acquisition was funded with the Company’s credit facility.

“We are pleased to complete this lightly marketed acquisition, which further validates the proprietary sourcing capabilities Rexford Industrial enjoys within its core markets,” said Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. “This property’s rare combination of location and modern functionality make it highly desirable to air freight and airport support services as well as tenants requiring proximity to West Los Angeles. In addition, we expect to lease the building’s existing vacancy, and increase rental rates to market upon renewal or re-leasing, to drive increased cash flow and enhanced returns."

The property, located at 11120, 11160 and 11200 Hindry Avenue, consists of three multi-tenant industrial buildings, with a total of 63,654 square feet on 2.88 acres. The complex is currently 87.0% occupied, and is comprised of a 10-unit, 25,000 square foot building and two air-freight buildings totaling 38,000 square feet with 24 dock-high doors. The project comprises a high quality, diverse tenant base including freight forwarders, TSA bonded warehouse, government agencies and corporate headquarters for well-established regionally-based businesses. Rexford Industrial plans to upgrade the property and increase its marketability to drive occupancy and facilitate roll-up to market rents on renewal or re-leasing. The property is located in the South Bay / LAX submarket, adjacent to the Los Angeles Airport with favorable access to the I-405 and I-105 highways. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 217.6 million square foot South Bay submarket stood at 1.8% at the end of the third quarter of 2014.
