Acquisitions and Investments
Targeting Opportune Industrial Assets
Weston adopts a strategic approach to identify undervalued industrial assets in the secondary and tertiary markets of the Midwest and Southeast regions of the US.
With a focus on high-risk-adjusted total returns and attractive yields, we build our portfolio on the foundation of identifying hidden value through our extensive network of key relationships.
A targeted approach
Our acquisition strategy involves buying assets with the following qualities:
- Vacancy with potential for lease-up: We seek assets with underutilized space that we can lease and bring back to market.
- Under market rents with potential for improvement: We identify assets with rents below market rates and leverage our leasing expertise and capital improvements to maximize rental income.
- High tenant investment in leased space: We look for assets where tenants have made substantial investments in their leased space, ensuring a committed and stable occupancy.
- Excess land for development or tenant use: We actively seek assets with additional land that can be developed or utilized by tenants, unlocking further value for our investment.
With our targeted approach, successful network and meticulous acquisition strategy, Weston is the ideal partner for unlocking and capitalizing on unrecognized opportunities in industrial assets in the thriving markets of the Midwest and Southeast regions.
Our Key Focus Areas
Long-Term Tailwinds
Our core markets are home to industries with long-term economic tailwinds such as reshoring, e-commerce expansion and supply chain reconfiguration. These industries offer significant growth potential, making them ideal for our calculated investment approach.
Infill Locations
Our investment plan centers on prioritizing infill locations with solid growth prospects and minimal impact from new supply. This approach enables us to acquire high-demand assets with limited availability, positioning us for long-term success in areas with robust market activity.
Class B Industrial Assets
We specialize in Class B industrial assets, giving us a cost-competitive edge over new Class A products. Our narrow focus allows us to seize assets with a favorable risk-adjusted rate of return and optimize investors’ returns for superior long-term growth.
