RREEF Marketing Industrial Portfolio

San Francisco-based RREEF Real Estate is now looking over bids for an eight-building, 1 million sq. ft. portfolio of industrial buildings that it recently brought to market. The properties are located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, five in the CentrePort Business Park in Fort Worth near the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and three are in suburban Carrollton. Jones Lang LaSalle is marketing the portfolio.

Institutional investors are expected to win the assets, which will help pump life into the moribund industrial sales market. According to New York-based researcher Real Capital Analytics, industrial sales in first-quarter 2008 were down 36% from a year ago.
