In 2022, W. P. Carey completed a $45 million sale-leaseback of two industrial facilities in the U.S. and Italy net leased to CentroMotion, an established market leader in engineered vehicle and equipment systems which was acquired by One Rock Capital Partners in 2019. The facilities are mission-critical and contain more than $50 million worth of specialized affixed machinery, with each facility exclusively manufacturing certain of the tenant’s products.
