The six transactions SLP closed last quarter followed the platform’s launch in August 2021 and consisted primarily of mission critical industrial assets, with a focus on sale-leasebacks (SLBs) for private equity-backed companies with durable business models.

The transactions ranged in size from under $15 million for an individual property to over $500 million for a portfolio and included both domestic and cross-border portfolios. SLP’s acquisitions comprised 31 individual assets across nearly 5.4 million square feet with a weighted average lease term (WALT) of over 16 years, while over half of the portfolio holds LEED designation.
