In sync with its strategy of acquiring industrial properties in strategic locations, this San Francisco-based real estate investment trust (REIT) purchased three industrial properties and two improved land parcels in the first quarter, for a total price of $63.1 million.

Specifically, it purchased a 28,000-square-foot property at 48 3rd Street and 286 Central Avenue for approximately $14.1 million. The company also acquired a transshipment building at 56-85 49th Street in Maspeth Queens, NY, for $24 million. 

On the disposition front, Terreno sold an industrial distribution building — situated in Corona, CL— covering 90,000 square feet, for $12.4 million. It was purchased in 2014 for nearly $7.8 million.

During the quarter, Terreno raised $82.3 million in gross proceeds by issuing around 1.98 million shares of common stock under the company’s at-the-market equity offering program.
