Heitman LLC has acquired an industrial property in Norfolk, Virginia. The property consists of a warehouse building and spans more than 300,000 square feet. The asset has 36 loading positions, 32’ clear heights, ESFR sprinklers, and 149 car parking spaces with 75 trailer parking spots.

This transaction represents Heitman’s first industrial acquisition in the United States. The property is in Norfolk, a strategic location well-suited for both regional and national distribution users and known for its growing labor pool. It is also proximate to the Port of Virginia, the third-largest port on the East Coast and home to the country’s largest naval base, Norfolk Naval Station.

“Given favorable demand drivers and the ability to access Class A facilities below replacement costs, we believe the U.S. industrial sector provides a compelling opportunity,” said Gordon Black, Senior Managing Director and Portfolio Manager for Heitman’s global core plus platform. “This property’s location, within Norfolk’s largest industrial submarket and near one of the nation’s largest port complexes, underscores our strategy of acquiring newly-built industrial assets in supply-constrained markets.”
