MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Terrafina® ("TERRA") TERRA, a leading Mexican industrial real estate investment trust ("FIBRA"), externally advised by Prudential Real Estate Investors and dedicated to the acquisition, development and management of industrial real estate properties in Mexico, announced today the acquisition of a portfolio consisting of 10 industrial properties for US$59.4 million, excluding transaction and tax costs. This transaction represents an important step for Terrafina with regards to the acquisition announced in July 2015. The remaining portion is expected to close in the coming weeks.

This acquisition is comprised of 10 industrial properties located in the cities of San Luis Potosi, Irapuato and Monterrey, contributing a total of 1.1 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) to Terrafina's portfolio in some of the most dynamic markets in the Bajio area and northern Mexico.

The occupancy rate of the acquired portfolio is 96.3% and all leases are U.S. dollar-denominated under a triple-net lease (NNN) structure. Furthermore, the stabilized cap rate of this acquisition for the next twelve months is 8.3%. Terrafina's scale and diversification will help generate operating and administrative efficiencies; therefore, the portfolio is expected to contribute adjusted funds for operations (AFFO) of US$4.6 to US$4.7 million per annum.
