Terreno Realty TRNO has announced the acquisition of an industrial property in Long Island City, Queens, NY, for $16 million, in line with its acquisition-driven growth strategy. The transaction marks an estimated stabilized cap rate of 3.9%.
Located at 11-40 Borden Avenue, the property comprises one industrial distribution building containing roughly 36,000 square feet on 1 acres. It is 100% leased to an insulation distributor through May 2028. With an advantageous location adjacent to the entrance to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and the Pulaski Bridge, the property is likely to lure tenants. Therefore, this acquisition seems a strategic fit.
TRNO’s Portfolio Growth Through Strategic Moves
TRNO has been actively restructuring its portfolio by disposing of non-core assets and acquiring value-accretive investments. Such efforts will aid long-term revenue growth. Last week, the company acquired an industrial property in Los Angeles, CA, for around $10 million. In May 2025, it sold two properties at an aggregate sale value of around $114.5 million. As of May 6, 2025, TRNO had acquisitions worth around $49 million under contract and nearly $75.8 million under letters of intent.
Moreover, as of March 31, 2025, Terreno had five properties under development or redevelopment. Post completion, these will comprise eight buildings spanning around 0.8 million square feet, which are 48% pre-leased. The company has around 22.4 acres of land dedicated to future developments at an estimated investment value of around $392.8 million.
With such expansion efforts, Terreno Realty is well-poised to enhance its portfolio in six major coastal U.S. markets, namely New York City/Northern New Jersey, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Washington, D.C. These markets display solid demographic trends and witness healthy demand for industrial real estate. However, macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff risks remain concerns.
