NORTH ANDOVER, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / VMD Companies continues its strategic growth by amassing a diversified industrial portfolio throughout the high barrier to entry market of Greater Boston. The firm most recently transacted on an institutional caliber shallow-bay portfolio north-west of Boston for approximately $18,000,000, further solidifying VMD's market presence and institutional platform.
In an economic climate that has significantly slowed real estate activity over the past few years, VMD remains disciplined yet aggressive-executing institutional-scale transactions while others sit on the sidelines. This latest acquisition adds over 130,000 square feet of fully tenanted industrial space to the firm's expanding portfolio in Greater Boston, reinforcing VMD's long-term thesis around shallow-bay industrial demand.
The acquisition, completed in partnership with institutional capital, adds to a series of high-performing strategic transactions by the firm across Massachusetts. Over the past two years, VMD has completed major acquisitions and developments in West Bridgewater, Middleboro, Fall River, Avon, and Littleton-all designed to meet the evolving needs of modern industrial users.
As part of its forward thinking approach to investing, VMD has been assembling a land bank of more than 400 acres along the East Coast, capable of supporting over 2 million square feet of new Class-A industrial product. However, the company is not limiting itself to warehouse space. With a flexible, value-add, and opportunistic strategy, VMD is also evaluating other asset classes, including residential and assisted living, for its land holdings-leveraging its platform to remain nimble in a shifting market.
"As VMD scales its boutique investment platform with ultra-high net worth and institutional capital clients, it continues to target and expand upon additional asset classes," said James L. Vitas II, Founder and Executive Chairman of VMD Companies. "In all market cycles and gyrations, VMD finds ways to execute."
"In all investment climates we are disciplined yet creative and value-oriented investors. Even in volatile markets we will continue to invest in asset classes that are resilient, supply constrained, and difficult to replicate." said Phil Down, Co-Founder and CEO at VMD Companies. "Our investments are designed to give us flexibility-to deliver what the market needs, when and where it needs it catering to businesses needing smaller footprints all the way up to large logistics and manufacturer firms requiring sizeable buildings with surplus parking/equipment lay down areas."
Recent milestones include the completed development of a 98,150-square-foot facility in Littleton, MA, for PODS; the sale of a fully repositioned 93,100-square-foot building in Avon to an institutional capital partner; and the groundbreaking on a portion of its existing development portfolio to accommodate over 900,000 SF, comprised of micro units and shallow bay industrial to cold storage and high tech manufacturing. Previously, VMD completed the $355 million sale to an institutional client of a redeveloped 50-acre logistics site in Revere, MA.
In every case, VMD's combination of on-the-ground knowledge, capital flexibility, and institutional execution has allowed it to outperform peers in one of the most difficult real estate markets in recent memory.
