Terreno Realty Corp. has sold three industrial assets along the Washington-Baltimore corridor in Maryland for a total of $51.3 million. The properties, located in Anne Arundel and Howard counties, add up to roughly 340,000 square feet and are fully leased to 10 tenants.

The largest of the three is 7190 Parkway Drive in Hanover, Md., a 159,000-square-foot cross-dock distribution building located on 11.7 acres, which changed hands for $25.3 million. The 1968-built asset last traded in March 2014 for $18 million, when Terreno acquired it from Pearlmark Real Estate Partners, Anne Arundel County records show. The tenant roster includes Crate & Barrel, and the property is within 7 miles of Baltimore/Washington International Airport and 13 miles away from downtown Baltimore.

COVID-19 Woes

While the economic slowdown from the coronavirus pandemic has certainly affected all real estate sectors and decelerated transaction activity on the whole, industrial has been left largely unscathed, in part due to an acceleration of e-commerce as a direct effect of social distancing measures.

The segment, which saw the smallest uptick in CMBS delinquencies of all asset classes in May, is expected to record a relatively healthy evolution of vacancy rates over the coming quarters, which cannot be said of hotels and most of the retail sector. In this light, industrial transaction volumes actually grew in some of the hardest-hit markets as the pandemic unraveled, with Las Vegas a telling example.
