NRC announces auction of cross-dock industrial portfolio

NRC Realty & Capital Advisors, LLC, announced today that it has been retained by YRC Worldwide to coordinate the sale of 61 surplus cross-dock industrial sites located throughout the country. Geographically, the sites are primarily in the Southeast and Midwest with the remaining sites in New England, Texas and Los Angeles, California. While the sites are improved with cross-dock terminals, they are also adaptable to a variety of industrial, and in some cases retail, uses. YRC Worldwide has one of the largest less-than-truckload (LTL) networks in North America YRC Worldwide has designated these sites as surplus and has closed the facilities over the past several years.

“Our vacant sites are currently a liability with substantial holding cost, maintenance and real estate taxes”, said Jamie Pierson, chief financial officer of YRC Worldwide. “We have chosen the auction process to monetize these properties and turn a liability into an asset which can be quickly reinvested in our business. Some of these sites have been on the market for over three years, and YRC Worldwide is marking them down to sell”.

The properties will be sold through NRC’s well-known “buy one, some or all” sealed bid format.  The bid deadline has been set for March 15, 2012. To view property specific information and to receive sale updates, register online at www.nrc.com/1120. Sales brochures are available by calling 800.747.3342, ext. 1120, or by download from the NRC website.

"This sale offers some great opportunities” said Evan Gladstone, NRC’s Executive Managing Director. “While the demand for industrial real estate has been gradually improving over the past 12 months, many of the sites will likely sell to smaller or other types of trucking users, investor buyers and for adaptive reuse. We expect interest from adjacent property owners, industrial developers and opportunistic investors.”
