Northampton Capital Partners LLC (“Northampton”), an alternative asset management firm focused on infrastructure investments across North America, ABR Capital Partners (“ABR”), an independent investment manager specializing in middle market investments, and Biynah Industrial Partners (“BIP”), today announced a joint venture (“JV”) forming Transportation Related Infrastructure Platform (“TRIP”).

TRIP will acquire, own, and operate contracted logistics assets across the United States, including truck terminals, fleet terminals, freight handling facilities, and other transportation-related infrastructure assets. The JV builds on an existing portfolio of seven assets across seven states, with additional acquisitions expected in supply-constrained logistics markets.

Corinne Still, Founding Partner at Northampton, commented, “We are excited to partner with ABR and BIP to build a diverse national portfolio of contracted transportation infrastructure assets. Truck terminals and fleet facilities that sit in the center of the freight network in supply-constrained last-mile markets are challenging to replicate and benefit from both local and broad-based U.S. economic growth.”

Tom Burton, Senior Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of ABR, added, “ABR has invested in transportation and logistics assets for years, and we see a compelling opportunity to continue building on that experience. Together with Northampton and BIP, we look forward to expanding TRIP through disciplined investment in high-quality assets across the country.”

The JV’s focus on acquiring transportation-related industrial assets will be led by the BIP team, which has over 18 years of experience in originating, managing, and optimizing logistics assets in the last mile of delivery. Jeff Josephs, Managing Partner at BIP, commented, “Our team has built a strong track record of owning and operating infrastructure assets in the logistics market. In Northampton and ABR, we have partners with sector insight and institutional capital to position TRIP to scale into a leading national platform and create long-term value across the portfolio.”

Greenberg Traurig acted as legal counsel to Northampton. Polsinelli acted as legal counsel to BIP.
