Summary
The acquisition advances the firm's $250 million industrial strategy, first announced in July 2025, which focuses on assembling infill logistics properties in high-growth markets across the Southeast and Southwest United States. ARE describes itself as a real estate private equity firm that uses a thematic investment approach, with an emphasis on properties requiring recapitalization, repositioning, strategic capital, or physical transformation.
Co-Founder and Managing Partner Peter Weiss described the deal as an example of the firm's off-market infill industrial acquisition strategy. He cited Atlanta's population growth, e-commerce demand, and logistics-hub positioning as supporting its investment thesis, and characterized Outrigger Industrial as an institutional-caliber local operator.
The property is located in Atlanta's infill Stone Mountain submarket, which the release says benefits from an approximately 3% vacancy rate and access to key regional transportation corridors. ARE said the acquisition reflects continued demand drivers across the industrial sector, including e-commerce growth, supply chain reconfiguration, and constrained supply in infill locations.
The release did not disclose the purchase price.
