Initial investments include a newly built logistics asset and a value-add repositioning opportunity in key Atlanta submarkets.
New York (April 23, 2026) – BGO, a leading global investment management firm, today announced the acquisition of two industrial assets in the Atlanta metropolitan area, marking the inaugural investments for its newly created dedicated U.S. industrial strategy.
The acquisitions include:
- River Park 6, a 724,687-square-foot Class A logistics facility in Jackson, Georgia in partnership with operating partner, Greenlaw Partners.
- 101 Aquila Way, a 313,000-square-foot former data center property in Lithia Springs, Georgia slated for redevelopment for modern industrial use. This asset was acquired in partnership with operating partner, Saracen Properties.
Together, the off-market transactions, secured at an attractive basis relative to replacement cost, establish the foundation of a strategy focused on acquiring and enhancing industrial assets in high-growth U.S. logistics markets. The Atlanta region benefits from extensive transportation infrastructure, access to major population centers, and a deep labor pool, supporting sustained demand for modern distribution space.
“These initial investments mark the launch of a dedicated U.S. value-add industrial strategy, building on BGO’s long-standing leadership in the sector in the U.S. and globally,” said John Carrafiell, CEO, BGO. “We are seeing a compelling opportunity set driven by recent market dislocation and evolving supply-demand dynamics, particularly in markets like Atlanta, one of the most important logistics hubs in the country. These transactions demonstrate our ability to source off-market and execute on strong value-add opportunities as we scale the strategy.”
River Park 6 is a recently constructed Class A distribution facility delivered in 2023 and located within the River Park master-planned industrial park along the I-75 corridor, which has experienced over 4.4 million square feet of leasing activity since 2024, reflecting strong tenant demand. The property is currently partially leased and offers near-term upside through the lease-up of remaining space. The asset features modern specifications and is positioned to attract regional and national logistics users seeking efficient access to key transportation networks.
At 101 Aquila Way, BGO will undertake a redevelopment program to convert a former data center into modern, market-ready industrial space. The 313,000-square-foot property is currently vacant and will be repositioned to meet demand from logistics and light industrial users in Atlanta’s I-20 West corridor.
BGO’s asset management strategy includes targeted capital improvements and a phased lease-up plan, with stabilization anticipated within three years.
