KKR Buys Amazon Facility For $176 Million

Private-equity firm KKR has paid a record setting $176 million for a huge Amazon fulfillment center in Kenosha. KKR acquired the two Amazon warehouses totaling 1.5 million square feet along Interstate 94.

“We are excited to increase our footprint in these major distribution markets with the addition of two high-quality, stable assets,” Roger Morales, KKR partner and head of commercial real estate acquisitions in the Americas, said in a statement. “Logistics real estate represents a growth opportunity as more and more U.S. consumers migrate to shopping online.”
