Pennybacker Capital and M2G Ventures Partner to Acquire 1.2 Million Square Feet of Dallas Industrial and Office Space from Retailer Tuesday Morning
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennybacker Capital Management, LLC (Pennybacker), a leading real estate private equity firm, today announced it has partnered with M2G Ventures, a Fort Worth-based real estate investment and development company, to purchase more than 1.2 million square feet of industrial and office space from Dallas retailer Tuesday Morning.
The acquisition includes five of Tuesday Morning's industrial distribution centers located along Inwood Road in Addison and Farmers Branch, totaling 1.1 million square feet, and its 105,000-square-foot corporate headquarters office at 6250 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway in Dallas.
As part of the agreement, Tuesday Morning will lease back the industrial properties for two-and-a-half years and the corporate headquarters building for 10 years. M2G Ventures will assist with operating the portfolio.
"Tuesday Morning filed for bankruptcy last year, and our team was able to provide liquidity for a distressed retailer in a strategic growth market for us," said Tim Berry, CEO of Pennybacker. "Going forward, we want to participate in similar transactions with companies entering into sale-leasebacks as a source for raising capital, paying down debt, and strengthening their balance sheets."
The acquisition is part of Pennybacker's value strategy and demonstrates its investment theme of identifying, purchasing, and adding value to well-located industrial properties in select U.S. growth markets that benefit from compelling fundamentals. Austin-based Pennybacker is quickly expanding its industrial holdings in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
"We have strong conviction in dynamic growth markets like Dallas-Fort Worth, as these areas continue to experience rapid population and economic increases," Berry said. "Innovations in the way consumers receive goods and services, such as ordering online and picking up items from fulfillment centers, have changed the real estate market. There is greater demand for industrial space closer to the consumer, and by working with firms like Tuesday Morning, we can help improve their distribution and supply chain efficiency."
