Weeks Robinson Industrial Fund I

A strong capital base will enable Weeks Robinson to take advantage of the opportunities presented by a depressed real estate market. With $150 million in equity raised over the last few years, the firm is positioned to aggressively identify and acquire properties in its target cities and ports in the Sunbelt during a time when industrial properties are selling at an attractive discount from historic prices.

Weeks Robinson Industrial Fund I will apply 70 to 80 percent of its equity to acquire institutional-quality buildings that are functional, have good access to transportation routes and are located in markets that exhibit favorable trends. The Fund anticipates acquiring $200 to $300 million worth of properties targeting 60 percent leverage.

Twenty to 30 percent of the Fund's equity will go toward build-to-suits in the target markets. This strategy will focus on the same types of industrial products as the acquisition strategy and will only pursue build-to-suits where Weeks Robinson can effectively manage site development and contractor risk.

Institutional Sidecar Investment

With its largest investor, Siguler Guff, the Fund has created a co-investment venture that will allocate up to 12 percent of its committed capital. The venture will invest in the same asset as the Fund, but with a slightly different strategy and higher return expectations.
