During the quarter, it closed on seven new acquisitions totaling over $350 million across three of the four primary property sectors adding two new apartment communities, two additional bulk distribution industrial properties and three new grocery-anchored retail properties. These newly acquired properties include:
- Apartments -- The acquisitions of Dylan Point Loma in San Diego and The Penfield in St. Paul added 434 additional rental units to this property segment and increased the apartment allocation to 20 percent of the overall portfolio and nearly $415 million in gross assets. Both investments represent a continuation of our core apartment investment strategy to acquire properties in strong urban in-fill locations that appeal to millennial renters.
- Industrial -- The acquisition of Pinole Point Distribution Center included two 100 percent leased, Class-A warehouses in the Bay Area suburb of Richmond, California increasing the industrial acquisition total to nine properties this year. This acquisition brings the aggregate industrial portfolio to over six million square feet and 24 percent of the overall portfolio.
- Retail -- Third quarter retail acquisitions included three first-class grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers: Silverstone Marketplace and Kierland Village Center in Scottsdale, Arizona and Timberland Town Center in Beaverton, Oregon. All three acquisitions demonstrate our preference for necessity and experiential-driven shopping formats with complementary and synergistic tenant rosters. These acquisitions bring the aggregate retail portfolio investment to more than $660 million.
"We are very pleased that we have been able to identify and close on these seven properties in the third quarter, further diversifying our portfolio across multiple property types and geographic markets. In a time of increased uncertainty, these acquisitions, combined with our focus on operational excellence, continue to drive shareholder value," said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust.
