NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Californer -- Provender Partners has acquired a four-property food production and distribution portfolio totaling 483,000-square square from SpartanNash for $29.9 million.

The portfolio is made up of four temperature-controlled buildings:

• 160,986-square-foot refrigerated food distribution facility in Minot, ND;
• 103,838-square-foot grocery/produce distribution cross dock facility  in Newcomerstown, OH; and

"These buildings are an important part of the food supply chain in their respective regions," said McLaughlin.   "After completing the necessary improvements, with our relationships, we believe we can quickly stabilize the properties in the portfolio by leasing to food service companies, grocers and logistics companies in need of high-quality, strategically located facilities for regional and/or last mile distribution.   We are already seeing proposals on two of the buildings," he said.

The portfolio became available when SpartanNash, a Michigan-based Fortune 400 company food solutions company acquired several assets from Caito Food Services including its food distribution business.  After consolidating operations, the four redundant facilities were put on the market earlier this year.

Chuck Rosien, executive vice president with JLL in the firm's Chicago office led the team that marketed the portfolio on behalf of SpartanNash.

With the SpartanNash portfolio, Provender, a leading food-related industrial buildings investor has acquired  1.8 million square feet of cold storage and temperature-controlled facilities in 2022.   The assets, which are located California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon and South Dakota, are part of the country's critical food supply chains serving a population of more than 300 million people.
