ATLANTA, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alterra IOS (“Alterra”), a prominent player in the industrial outdoor storage (“IOS”) sector that has acquired more than 500 sites nationwide, today announced the acquisition of five IOS properties in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Collectively, the new properties comprise 32 usable acres and over 145,700 square feet of accompanying warehouse space, bringing Alterra’s total portfolio across the Atlanta metro area to 28 properties spanning 190 usable acres.
Each site is located within key industrial submarkets with convenient access to major highways and transportation networks. The newly acquired properties are occupied by a variety of national and regional tenants across the building materials, equipment rental and logistics industries. The transactions strengthen Alterra’s presence in a leading industrial and logistics corridor while advancing the firm’s long-term strategy of acquiring mission-critical IOS properties in proximity to the infrastructure that powers freight movement, equipment storage, fleet parking and last-mile operations.
“Atlanta continues to be one of the country’s most important logistics and distribution hubs, and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the United States,” said Sean Christman, Senior Associate of Acquisitions at Alterra IOS. “As population growth and economic activity continue to accelerate across the Southeast, we remain focused on acquiring strategically located IOS assets in markets where transportation infrastructure, tenant demand and limited supply support long-term value creation.”
