Three GMP Buildings in Fremont, California

Acquisition Executes on Firm's Growth in Specialized Asset Class

CHARLOTTE, N.C. , June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Barings, one of the world's largest diversified real estate investment managers, announced today its acquisition of a portfolio of three life science assets totaling 228,025 square feet in Fremont, California from Angelo Gordon & Company. Lincoln Property Company has joined Barings in the venture, and Newmark has facilitated the transaction.

The portfolio, fully Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliant, contains ideal life science building characteristics, including clear heights of over 20 ft., a minimum of 2,000 amps of power, abundant dock-high and at-grade doors, and 3.4x parking ratios. Each of the three buildings offers between 50,000 and 100,000 rentable square feet with a first floor designed for lab and manufacturing use and a mezzanine floor for offices and conference rooms. Barings has plans in place for nearly $20 million of interior and exterior improvements and enhancements across the portfolio.

"These life science assets are a tremendous addition to Barings' portfolio of state-of-the-art buildings in leading life science hubs where lab demand is high and well-funded innovation thrives," said Joe Gorin , Managing Director, Head of US Acquisitions and Portfolio Management for Barings. "This investment further demonstrates Barings' commitment to this critical, specialized asset class, particularly in markets where STEM-oriented, skilled workforces continue to grow."

Spread across the city of Fremont at 34325 Ardenwood Boulevard, 45401 Research Avenue, and 48664 Milmont Drive, the portfolio is strategically positioned within the Bay Area, consistently among the nation's top two leading life science clusters, with close proximity to major interstate freeways (I-880 and I-680), San Jose International Airport, and connectivity to the San Francisco Peninsula . Surrounded by some of the world's leading science and technology companies as well as major colleges and universities, the Fremont market is currently experiencing a severe supply-demand imbalance with a 4.5% vacancy rate and current tenant demand of 538,000 square feet, according to Newmark Research.

"With high demand and low vacancy, we continue to hear from groundbreaking, life-changing companies looking for properties that will meet their specific needs and requirements," said David Otte , Barings' Managing Director, Acquisitions. "Additionally, there's no slowing down for the Bay Area cluster as life science leaders want to be amongst their peers in this influential, stimulating market."

Newmark Executive Vice Chairman and President, Western Region Capital Markets, Steven Golubchik , Vice Chairman Edmund Najera , Senior Managing Director Jonathan Schaefler and Director Darren Hollak facilitated the transaction.

"This portfolio provided the opportunity to acquire effectively all of the GMP vacancy within the Fremont market," said Golubchik." As onshoring trends continue and life science users seek production facilities proximate to their R&D, product like the Fremont GMP portfolio will remain in high-demand."

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Shares of the online car-buying company Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) were plunging this morning, likely after a Barron's article published over the weekend said that the company, in some cases, sold cars before it even had the title to them. Barron's said in its reporting that Carvana was selling cars too quickly during the pandemic, when demand for buying a car online soared, which led to problems in receiving the proper title for vehicles for some customers. Apparently, enough people have experienced this problem that a lawsuit is being brought against the car seller, saying that some customers went years without legally being able to drive vehicles purchased from Carvana.

Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo hiked their dividends on Monday after the U.S. banks cleared their annual stress test exercise last week. The U.S. Federal Reserve said on Thursday the country's largest lenders could easily weather a severe economic downturn, giving them a clean bill of health and paving the way for them to redistribute excess capital to shareholders. The results allowed banks to announce higher dividends despite the Fed's test being tougher than in 2021, pushing up some lenders' required capital buffers more than expected.

Regardless of how long you've been investing in the stock market, this has been a challenging year. Since all three major U.S. indexes hit their respective record-closing highs between mid-November and the first week of January, two of them have fallen into a bear market -- the broad-based S&P 500 and technology-dependent Nasdaq Composite. Although a plunging stock market can be unnerving and tug on investor's emotions, double-digit percentage drawdowns in the major indexes are a perfectly normal part of the investing cycle.
