Bluerock Value Exchange Fully Subscribes $54.9 Million Diversified Industrial Portfolio II DST

NEW YORK, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Value Exchange (BVEX), a long-time, national sponsor of 1031 exchange and Delaware Statutory Trust investment (DST) programs, announced it has fully subscribed BR Diversified Industrial Portfolio II, DST (DIP II) program with $54.9 million in equity from third-party investors. Bluerock reported more than $2.5 billion in past and current 1031 exchange programs as of February 2024. 

The unleveraged DIP II DST offering includes a three-property industrial sector portfolio with locations in the sunbelt featuring approximately 424,000 square feet of warehouse / distribution properties with five distinct tenants, including large global distributers Amazon and FedEx.    

BVEX believes DIP II represents an attractive investment opportunity in an already assembled diverse portfolio of industrial properties located in desirable high growth North Carolina markets. DIP II seeks to provide investors with stable monthly cash flow pursuant to in-place, triple net leases to a diverse group of industrial tenants and the potential for capital appreciation due to high demand for industrial properties within highly sought-after infill locations coupled with the ability to drive future rent and net operating income (NOI) growth with current rents substantially below (approximately 23% on average) market rates. The program also provides investors with multiple options upon a future exit strategy event including 721 exchange (UPREIT) or subsequent cash-out / 1031 exchange optionality.  

"We believe industrial properties in major distribution corridors are best poised to deliver on investor's objectives of capital preservation, stable cash flow, and high appreciation potential," said Josh Hoffman, President of BVEX. "Today's infill warehouse and distribution properties have unparalleled demand tailwinds bolstered by e-commerce, US manufacturing, and consumer distribution needs, and is forecasted to generate the highest rent growth among all major real estate sectors through 2028, making it our highest conviction sector," added Hoffman.
