4 X CUTIV SUMMARY

Jones Lang LaSalle America, Inc. (“JLL”) has been exclusively retained by ownership as the sales representative for Yerbey Commerce Center, “the Property” – a 193,883 square foot industrial park located in the heart of Chattanooga’s burgeoning Southside neighborhood comprising 6 buildings with 18’ - 24’ clear heights, 22 drive-in doors & 19 dock-high doors, and truck court depths ranging from 50’ - 135’. The Property is 97% leased to a diverse tenant roster, which comprises 10 tenants demonstrating 2.1 years of WALT and $7.36 blended in-place rents, representing a strong mark-to-market opportunity of 49%.

Conveniently located under 1 mile from I-24, the Property boasts direct access to the region’s major thoroughfares with U.S. 27 and the I-75 interchange just 0.3 miles and 5.8 miles away, respectively, positioning the deeply infill Property well within the quickly growing Chattanooga MSA. Chattanooga, otherwise known as the “Gateway to the Southeast”, is strategically positioned at the junction of three major interstates (I-24, I-75, and I-59) providing superior access to Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Knoxville, and the greater Midwest. To the east, it’s a million consumers can be reached within a 3-hour drive, highlighting the city’s superb connectivity.

The offer provides two key upside opportunities: enclosing and preparing a ~5 KSF concrete covered IOS space, and capturing rollover upside from two gross leases (Yerbey Concrete and Stuart C. Irby Co.) which represent 29% of RSF, with 1.6 years WALT remaining and 76% below market rents. These value-add components enhance returns through immediate capital deployment and near-term lease repositioning. The IOS space offers additional rental income from underutilized square footage, while the lease rollover presents compelling upside as both tenants pay substantially below-market rates across nearly 30% of the building and currently operate under gross lease structures. With short remaining terms, this rollover opportunity will materialize within the hold period, allowing investors to capture the significant spread between current rents and prevailing market rates, while also converting to NNN leases that shift operating expense responsibility to tenants. Addtionally, two land parcels sit directly adjacent to Yerbey Commerce Center. One parcel, totaling 4.53 acres, is currently available for sale. The other parcel has recently sold to a townhome developer, underscoring the rapidly evolving nature of this site and the surrounding area.

Chattanooga’s industrial market fundamentals remain strong, with historically low vacancy rates below 5% since 2017, and limited new supply. Average delivered rents have increased 11.3% since 2010, while upcoming deliveries represent less than 1% of current inventory. The city has experienced robust population growth of 11.3% since 2010, driven by economic development in automotive and tech industries. Chattanooga hosts Volkswagen’s only U.S. manufacturing plant with $3.5 billion in investments and over 5,000 employees. The city provides high-speed internet to all residents, attracting numerous tech companies. Within 5 miles, Chattanooga maintains a skilled industrial labor force supported by the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Community College. The city’s strategic connectivity via air, water, and rail has earned it a 5-star logistics hub rating, with strong demographic growth in surrounding MSAs reinforcing continued expansion potential.

CHATTANOOGA MARKET ANALYSIS

The Chattanooga industrial market defined by CoStar includes six total counties and roughly 64 MSF of product, but in JLL’s opinion, the industrial market is quite different, surpassing 120 MSF in total and encompassing the CSA of Dalton, Georgia and Cleveland, Tennessee. As a result, it is a bookend of the I-75 corridor that connects Atlanta to Chattanooga, defining one of the highest truck traffic counts in the country due to its ability to provide rapid access throughout the greater Southeast and Midwest regions. Chattanooga is strategically positioned at the junction of three major interstates: I-24, I-75, & I-59, providing impeccable access to Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Knoxville and the greater Midwest. The city is a vital hub for automotive manufacturing, serving as the home for Volkswagen’s 1,400-acre assembly plant which employs roughly 5,500 employees. More than 1 in 5 jobs are manufacturing related in Chattanooga, highlighting the significance of the industry to the city and the availability of industrial labor to the surrounding area.
