Market Dynamics, Asset Sales, and Strategic Acquisitions in the Manufacturing Industry

Aaron Halfacre, president and CEO of Modiv Industrial, Inc. (NYSE: MDV), was a guest on the latest episode of Nareit’s REIT Report podcast.

Halfacre discussed Modiv’s evolution toward focusing on industrial manufacturing facilities, after starting out as a diversified net lease REIT.

“We discovered that industrial manufacturing facilities were, like us, flying a bit below the radar and also, like us, providing investors with very attractive upside potential. The manufacturing sector has strong fundamentals, solid cap rates, healthy contractual rent bumps, long-term dependable leases, and somewhat of an inefficient transaction marketplace. All of that made it clear to us that we were onto something,” Halfacre said.
