Virginia Beach Industrial Portfolio Acquired by Schenley Investments for $22M

VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, July 16, 2024 – Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer is pleased to announce its representation of Schenley Investments, LLC in the successful acquisition of a prominent two-building industrial portfolio, Taylor Farm I & II, located at 1337 & 1345 Taylor Farm Road, Virginia Beach, VA.

The 184,500 square foot portfolio was acquired for $22,000,000 in an off-market transaction. Geoff Poston, SIOR and Brett Sain of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer have been retained by Schenley as the exclusive leasing agents for the portfolio.

“We are excited to have represented Schenley Investments in this significant off-market acquisition,” said Clark Simpson, Senior Vice President, Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer. “The Taylor Farm I & II portfolio is a prime addition to Schenley’s growing presence in the Norfolk industrial market, which continues to exhibit strong fundamentals and growth potential.”

Thalhimer’s team, led by Clark Simpson and Erik Conradi of the Capital Markets Group, along with Geoff Poston, SIOR, and Brett Sain of the Industrial Services Group, handled the negotiations on behalf of the buyer. The seller, Red Tail Acquisitions, LLC, is an Irvine, California-based real estate firm with a focus on industrial properties.

The Norfolk industrial market is buoyed by its strategic location near the Port of Virginia, a robust military presence, and a business-friendly environment, making it a highly attractive area for industrial investments. These factors contribute to the region’s resilience and ongoing appeal to investors.

Justin Kline, Managing Partner at Schenley Investments, expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition, stating, “We are thrilled to expand our portfolio into Virginia Beach. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategic growth plans. The addition of Taylor Farm I & II to our portfolio underscores our dedication to expanding our regional footprint and enhancing our investment portfolio in the Tidewater region.”
