Newmark Group, Inc. arranged the sale and acquisition financing of a 19‑property, 1.38‑million‑square‑foot logistics portfolio that spans the Dallas‑Fort Worth, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis metro areas. The joint venture, composed of a global asset manager and Dalfen Industrial, purchased the assets from Mapletree Investments for $207.5 million, while Newmark secured a $150.9 million loan from Wells Fargo to fund the buyer’s acquisition.
The portfolio is over 94% leased and features clear heights up to 28 feet, positioning it as a high‑quality, well‑leased asset set for continued demand in key U.S. logistics markets. The 13 properties in Dallas‑Fort Worth, four in Chicago, and one each in Cincinnati and Indianapolis provide a diversified geographic footprint that aligns with the growing e‑commerce and supply‑chain optimization trends.
Newmark’s involvement in this transaction comes on the back of a strong Q1 2026 earnings report, in which the company posted revenue of $846.52 million and net income of $14.42 million, turning a prior‑year loss into a profit. The firm also raised its full‑year 2026 revenue guidance to $3.775 billion–$3.875 billion, reflecting confidence in continued growth and the ability to capture large‑scale deals such as this one.
U.S. industrial sales data for Q4 2025 show a 12% year‑over‑year increase, with sequential growth each quarter and the highest volume since 2022. The transaction aligns with that trend, underscoring the strong appetite for prime logistics properties across the country.
Jack Fraker, Newmark’s president and global head of Industrial & Logistics Capital Markets, said, “This transaction highlights the strong appetite for prime logistics properties across key U.S. markets.” His comments reinforce the view that demand remains robust and that Newmark’s integrated service model is well‑positioned to capitalize on it.
Mapletree’s decision to sell the portfolio is part of its broader U.S. strategy, while the buyer’s joint venture expands its logistics footprint. Newmark’s role as both advisor and financier demonstrates its capability to orchestrate complex transactions and secure favorable financing terms for its clients.
The deal showcases Newmark’s integrated capital‑markets platform, strengthens its position in the logistics sector, and supports the firm’s guidance for continued revenue growth and profitability in the coming year.
