DALLAS, Dec. 9, 2020 /CNW/ -- Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division & Dalfen Industrial purchased 10 last mile properties.

It is also in close proximity to I-95, US-1, and the Florida Turnpike. The property's largest tenant is Fedex Home Delivery. Both properties are within ten miles of Palm Beach International Airport and less than five miles from the Port of Palm Beach. These assets are also unique because they feature large trailer yards in a land constrained market.

The property resides in the Denver's largest submarket and is within a 30-minute drive of 1.8 million people – half of the Denver MSA population.

Mark IV is in close proximity to three airports – Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Alliance Airport, and Meacham International Airport. The other three Texas assets are located in Schertz, Texas, a rapidly growing submarket of San Antonio. Located between the San Antonio MSA and Austin MSA, these last mile locations allow tenants to service 3.5 million people. Built in 2016, Tri-County 5 & 7 total 211,950 square feet. Built in 2018.
