CHICAGO, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed, daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX; ZIPIBX; ZIPSAX; ZIPZAX; ZIPDBX) with approximately $6.9 billion in portfolio equity and debt investments, announced that it closed a $68.5 million mortgage loan secured by Whitestown Distribution Center IV, a Class A distribution center totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet in the Northwest submarket of Indianapolis in Whitestown, IN. The loan has a seven-year term with an interest rate of 5.54%. The transaction supports JLL Income Property Trust's strategy of including a modest amount of fixed-rate leverage on specific properties in its portfolio to enhance point forward returns.
"As interest rates have moved higher and debt capital markets remain open but selective, we are seeing opportunities to include disciplined, accretive leverage on high-quality properties as a component of our business plan to drive positive performance. This leverage on a newly built industrial property in an infill location with strong demand drivers should provide the portfolio with durable cash flow for our investors," said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust.
The facility, which is 100% leased to a single tenant, was constructed in 2024 as the tenant's largest North America redistribution center servicing eight regional centers. It features state-of-the-art amenities such as LED lighting, ESFR sprinklers, 135'-185' truck courts, full dock packages including hydraulic levelers, and 40' clear heights. Indianapolis serves as one of the country's major industrial markets from its geographic location in the center of the U.S., with a compelling combination of extensive transportation systems, a deep labor pool, and a business friendly environment. The region is home to the second largest FedEx hub nationwide, as well as other major distribution tenants like Amazon, Home Depot, DHL, and Coca-Cola.
JLL Income Property Trust's allocation to industrial real estate remains significant with this transaction. As of September 30, 2026, industrial investments comprise the largest percentage of the total $6.9 billion portfolio at 40%, with approximately $2.7 billion in assets across 66 industrial properties.
