Center Capital Partners' Terminal Logistics IOS Platform Raises $125 Million in Equity — Enabling $350+ Million in Industrial Outdoor Storage Deployment
Center Capital Partners ("Center"), an LA-based platform investor specializing in alternative, niche, and fragmented real-estate assets, announced the successful closing of its second fund within the industrial outdoor storage ("IOS") sector under its Terminal Logistics platform. The firm raised $125 million in combined equity across Terminal Logistics Fund II and a joint-venture partnership. The equity raise gives Center the ability to deploy over $350 million in gross IOS acquisitions.
Terminal Logistics, Center's latest vertical dedicated exclusively to the Industrial Outdoor Storage sector, is built around the conviction that IOS represents a supply constrained, fragmented real estate sector with strong structural demand, growing institutional capital, and attractive risk-adjusted returns.
"In Terminal Logistics, we've created a highly focused platform dedicated exclusively to consolidating fragmented IOS assets and deploying capital with discipline and scale into a historically underserved segment of the real estate market," said Alex Valner, Center Co-Founder and Managing Partner. "Surpassing our fundraising target underscores our partners' confidence in the Center team and its ability to capitalize on the IOS thesis."
Why Terminal Logistics — and Why Now
- Highly fragmented, alternative RE sector. The IOS sector is largely owned by private users and sub-scale operators. Terminal Logistics' platform is designed to drive consolidation, institutional-quality operations, and long-term value creation.
- Accelerating fundamentals. Macro trends in logistics, manufacturing, and energy/infrastructure, combined with continued pressure to maximize delivery efficiency, continues to drive demand for flexible infill storage facilities.
- Institutional-grade platform strategy. With $125 million of equity and more than $350 million of acquisition capacity, Terminal Logistics is positioned to acquire high-quality IOS assets across multiple geographies, increase scale, drive operating efficiencies, and execute value-add repositioning.
