ST. LOUIS – Transwestern Investment Group (TIG®) on behalf of its discretionary investment fund, Transwestern Strategic Partners Fund II (“TSP Fund II”), announces the sale of 28 Gateway Commerce Center, a 500,000-square-foot, Class A cross-dock warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois. The property was fully leased to Walgreens.com, Inc. at the time of sale.
TIG acquired the property in 2017 as a part of a 2.5-million-square-foot industrial portfolio, marking the first investment by TSP Fund II. With the completion of this transaction, the portfolio is now fully liquidated.
“The exceptional performance of this investment was a combination of our team’s ability to acquire these assets at an attractive basis, successfully lease over 2 million square feet to high-quality tenants and realize maximum value creation by tactically executing portfolio and single-asset dispositions over the last 17 months,” said Chris Sterling, Director of Acquisitions for TIG.
St. Louis is an increasingly important e-commerce market. In the third quarter of 2022, the industrial real estate sector experienced annual rent growth of more than 13 percent and posted an overall vacancy of just 3.5 percent, according to Transwestern research.
Caitlin Clinton and Josh McArtor from Eastdil Secured represented TIG in the transaction.

Similar to TSP Fund II, TSP Fund III focuses on diversified value-add investment and development opportunities in markets across the U.S. that are driven by strong job growth and global supply chains.
