The building on Mahn Court has three tenants, which include mailing service DHL Express and Regina USA Inc., which manufactures chains for motorcycles, conveyors and other industrial applications.

Overall, the portfolio that WPT Industrial acquired totals about 2.2 million square feet of gross leasable area. Other properties included in the portfolio are located in the Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Orlando and Miami markets.
