EQT Real Estate announced that the EQT Real Estate Industrial Value Fund VI has acquired a 2.4 million-square-foot logistics portfolio spanning three rapidly growing markets in the Southeast United States, including Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville, Florida, and Lakeland, Florida.
The portfolio consists of three Class A industrial buildings strategically positioned near major transportation infrastructure. The Savannah property is located about five miles from the Port of Savannah, one of the busiest container ports in the United States, while the Jacksonville asset benefits from access to JAXPORT and regional highway networks. The Lakeland facility is situated along the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, providing connectivity to Florida’s expanding population base. In 2025, the Port of Savannah handled 5.7 million twenty-foot equivalent units, marking its second-busiest year on record, while JAXPORT processed more than 10 million tons of cargo.
All three properties are fully leased to a roster of blue-chip tenants and feature modern logistics specifications, including cross-dock configurations, large building footprints, and high clear heights designed to facilitate efficient goods movement. EQT Real Estate plans to apply its active management strategy to support operational performance and long-term value creation for tenants and stakeholders.
The acquisition expands EQT Real Estate’s industrial footprint in one of the country’s most important logistics regions, benefiting from population growth, rising port activity, and continued supply chain modernization.
JLL’s John Huguenard, Trent Agnew, and Will McCormack advised the seller, a Brookfield affiliate, on the transaction.
EQT oversees €269 billion in total assets under management and, through its real estate platform, manages approximately $59 billion in gross asset value across more than 2,000 properties and 450 million square feet globally.
