PHILADELPHIA, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alterra IOS, a prominent player in the industrial outdoor storage (IOS) sector that has acquired over 350 properties nationwide, today announced the acquisition of 12 Class A IOS properties, totaling 43.3 usable acres with over 165,000 square feet of accompanying warehouse space.

The properties are situated in key metropolitan areas across the country, including Austin, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, Sacramento and Tampa.

“Acquiring this portfolio meaningfully expands our national footprint and reinforces our stature as a leader and trusted partner in the industrial outdoor storage sector,” said Mark Gannon, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions at Alterra IOS. “The properties, fully leased to a publicly traded, national leader in equipment rental services, feature newer construction and highly functional property layouts. As the equipment rental sector continues to consolidate, we’re seeing rising demand for well-located, high-quality IOS properties that enable these companies to best serve their customers. This acquisition highlights Alterra’s commitment to fostering strong tenant partnerships and a well-connected national platform.”

All of the properties in the portfolio are fully leased, featuring newly constructed locations built-to-suit for the tenant. The locations included in this transaction are as follows, listed in descending order by usable acres:

“The sale of this multi-state portfolio highlights the significant demand we’re seeing for blue-chip, institutional-quality equipment rental assets in top markets, where supply is extremely limited,” said Rory Shelby, Senior Director of Investments at Marcus and Millichap. “A transaction of this magnitude demanded a buyer with both the technical wherewithal and the capacity for seamless execution. It took a grand effort from all sides. Always a pleasure working with the team of professionals at Alterra on another great buy.”
