Dilweg Sells Portfolio in the Triangle Following Substantial Capital Improvements

The Collection of Nine Single-Story Light-Industrial / Flex Buildings is Located in Cary and Raleigh, N.C.

Raleigh, N.C. (December 7, 2021) — Dilweg, a leading Southeast real estate investment firm, today announced the sale of a nine building portfolio comprised of MacGregor Yards and 52North in Cary and Raleigh, N.C., respectively. The collection includes nine single-story light industrial / flex buildings that were sold to Adler Real Estate Partners. The properties span a total of 404,495 square feet, leased to 23 tenants spanning lab, research, life sciences, creative office, and flex tenants.

“The Dilweg team consistently recognizes opportunities to increase an asset’s worth, and we did just that with 52North and MacGregor yards,” said Kelsey Reside, Asset Enhancement Officer for Dilweg. “Through rebranding and capital improvements, we successfully repositioned these buildings that attracted several substantial tenants over the years, which brought us 82% occupancy. This is another great accomplishment for our firm and has generated significant value for our investors.”

Macgregor Yards, previously called MacGregor Park, features two single-story light industrial buildings totaling 90,392 square feet on 9.7 acres. Dilweg implemented a rebrand and numerous improvements, including: exterior paint, wood accents, refreshed tenant and park signage, landscaping, and an upgraded parking lot. The tenant landscape is predominantly made up of R&D and life sciences companies such as Jaguar Gene Therapy and AdhereRx. Macgregor Yards is located in the Research Triangle within a 20 minute drive of Raleigh-Durham International Airport. 

52North, previously known as One North Commerce Center, underwent a rebrand in addition to improvements similar to those of Macgregor Yards. The 32-acre campus is home to seven single-story light industrial buildings and tenants such as Raleigh Police Department, RTI International, and Tethis, Inc. 52North is centrally located about four miles from Midtown within close proximity to Interstates 440 and 540.

CBRE’s Patrick Gildea, Ben Kilgore, Matt Smith and Grayson Hawkins represented Dilweg in the sale. Foundry Commercial represented Dilweg in its leasing efforts.
