Lexington Realty Trust (NYSE:LXP) has announced the sale of two industrial and one office assets for gross proceeds of around $50 million. This disposition is in sync with the New York-based real estate investment trust’s (“REIT”) strategy of capital recycling and limiting its exposure to short-term leases. Further, the company is aiming at closing its operations in the office markets where it does not have a strong presence.

Notably, Lexington Realty sold its Boston, MA-based office property – 147 Milk Street – for a gross proceed of $33.3 million. Also, the company sold 7500 Chavenelle Road, the Dubuque, IA-based industrial property for $8.6 million and 477 Distribution Parkway, another industrial property, based in Collierville, TN for $7.7 million.

Lexington Realty is engaged in the ownership, operation and management of a diverse portfolio of real properties. A leader in single-tenant market, the REIT has expertise in sale-leaseback deals and provides construction financing of up to 100% to developers. Further, the long-term net lease deals with increase in rents per the contracts, maintain its cash flow momentum.
