Tereno in a Snapshot

Terreno Realty’s dispositions are an integral part of its ongoing efforts to optimize its portfolio and enhance its financial performance. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the company disposed of three 112,000-square-foot industrial buildings for approximately $33.6 million and one 5.7-acres improved land parcel in Newark, NJ, for approximately $29.8 million.

Moreover, the company remains focused on expanding its asset base in the six major coastal U.S. markets — Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Miami and Washington, DC — as demand for industrial real estate space remains buoyant.
