Acquisition Requirements

True North Investments prefers larger facilities along the Path of Goods that can be redeveloped as single multi-tenant warehousing and distribution facilities. We will also acquire properties with an existing income stream where additional value can be created by leasing, expanding, repositioning, etc. Generally the following are the property characteristics for us to consider as potential redevelopment candidates:

Income Property

True North will also acquire leased property if we can add value, i.e., install better property management, lease vacant space, extensively renovate and reposition the property, or take it out of bankruptcy.  We are risk takers. We prefer larger buildings with average size tenants of 40,000+ SF.

Please keep True North in mind if you have facilities that fit this criteria. You will find us extremely responsive and can make a quick decision regarding our level of interest and can generate an offer within 48 hours after touring a property. True North Investments acts solely as principals and look forward to your submittals.
