Institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management and Freehill, a vertically integrated industrial real estate investment firm, have formed a new joint venture focused on acquiring manufacturing-oriented industrial facilities. J.P. Morgan Asset Management holds a 95 percent interest in the venture, and Freehill holds 5 percent. The joint venture will target industrial properties that support manufacturing and logistics operations across Houston, a market supported by a large manufacturing base and access to the Port of Houston.
The new partnership plans to invest in facilities with specialized infrastructure tailored to tenant needs, including higher power capacity, strong truck access, crane-ready functionality, and outdoor storage. Through the maintenance and modernization of these specialized buildings, the joint venture will aim to help sustain long-term economic activity in the region by providing tenants with the capabilities they need to grow.
