North Carolina portfolio sells for $19.5M

EastGroup Properties purchased a portfolio of four distribution buildings in Charlotte, N.C., for a purchase price of $19.5 million.

At the time of sale, the multitenant buildings were 93.4 percent leased to 18 customers.

"This acquisition is our first in Charlotte and represents EastGroup's entry into our third new market over the past three years," said EastGroup President and CEO David H. Hoster II. "As a growth Sunbelt market with a good industrial base, we believe Charlotte offers an excellent fit with our investment and operating strategies."
