9606 – Ácies Capital Closes on 9606 – Ácies Fund III, L.P.

Middle-market investment bank Jordan Knauff & Company (JKC) is pleased to announce that 9606 – Ácies Capital (9606 – Ácies or the Company) closed on 9606 – Ácies Fund III, L.P. (the Fund) to finance the acquisition of industrial service and outdoor storage facilities in select cities in the U.S. 9606 – Ácies is a real estate investment firm specializing in value-add industrial outdoor storage and logistics assets. JKC served as the exclusive financial advisor to 9606 – Ácies.

The Fund was formed to capitalize on an investment philosophy within specific, institutionally-overlooked subcategories of logistics real estate that stand at the center of e-commerce growth in the United States. The Fund targets three subcategories of logistics real estate that are critical components of the overloaded “middle mile” and “last mile” of the e-commerce supply chain – flex warehouses, regional distribution centers, industrial outdoor storage, and industrial service facilities. Management plans to aggregate, manage, renovate, and exit a diversified, national portfolio (approximately 10 to 15 properties) located in select cities that serve as local/regional distribution hubs.

The Company strategically chose to employ a value-add investment strategy based on a combination of property-level skills, e-commerce industry know-how, and a diverse network in both the logistics and real estate industries. Value creation is expected to be realized by improving the acquired assets’ operational efficiency and profitability.

Mr. Ned Mahic, one of the firm’s principals primarily engaged in acquisition, financing, and leasing, commented, “We entered the sector at a time when market conditions were very strong. While the market has since softened, this is creating new buying opportunities. Our ability to source deals and execute our value-add strategy allows us to keep investing at attractive prices and build long-term value.”

Mr. G. Cook Jordan, Jr., Managing Principal of JKC, commented, “The rapid growth of e-commerce has caused a required expansion of the e-fulfilment supply chain in the U.S., with a resulting increase in demand for industrially-zoned logistics properties. 9606 – Ácies is well-positioned to take advantage of this market opportunity based on its multi-disciplinary approach to investing. Its principals, Ned, Jingjing, and Alain, each possess a wealth of knowledge and networks in real estate, investing, and e-commerce, respectively. They launched the 9606 – Ácies Fund III, L.P. to scale their past success in mid-market industrial real estate.”
