MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2022 / On May 12, 2022, Gladstone Commercial Corporation (NASDAQ:GOOD) acquired a 345,584 square foot industrial manufacturing/distribution warehouse, located on 59 acres in Wilmington, North Carolina, for $18.8 million with a GAAP capitalization rate of 6.45%.
The property is 100% leased to Pacon Manufacturing ("Pacon") with 13.1 years of remaining lease term. Pacon, founded in 1949, is a contract manufacturer of household/medical cleaning supplies that produces innovative, cost-effective wipes, pads, towels, surgical drapes, cleaning products, and custom converting solutions for a variety of consumer goods companies. The acquisition of this industrial asset is consistent with Gladstone Commercial’s growth strategy of acquiring functional assets leased to credit-worthy tenants.
"We are excited to continue building our strong industrial presence in the Southeast with our tenth acquisition in North Carolina. This property functions as the mission-critical manufacturing and distribution headquarters facility for Pacon, and we are pleased to add another high-quality building to the portfolio," stated EJ Wislar, Senior Vice President of Gladstone Commercial.
"The acquisition of the Pacon facility continues our core strategy of acquiring well-positioned assets in strong logistical locations. This location provides access to I-40 and I-95, which connect the Port of Wilmington and the Wilmington Terminal Railroad to major markets both North and South," said Buzz Cooper, Co-President of Gladstone Commercial.
Bob Cutlip, Co-President, agreed, "This transaction builds upon our strategy to increase our portfolio allocation to industrial buildings. Wilmington has emerged as a leading competitive Southeastern industrial hub and port, and we are excited to add a new credit-worthy tenant to our portfolio that improves our weighted average lease term."
The property was marketed by Pete Pittroff of JLL’s Charlotte office.
