Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, INDUS expects to close on the Lehigh Valley Land upon receipt of the requisite entitlements, estimated to be during the first half of fiscal 2022. Subsequent to closing on the Lehigh Valley Land, INDUS expects to begin construction, on speculation, of an approximately 90,000 square foot industrial\/logistics building. <\/p>\n

Michael Gamzon, President and Chief Executive Officer of INDUS, commented, \u201cWe are thrilled to expand our presence in the Lehigh Valley, a market that continues to experience strong rent growth and absorption. Development projects continue to provide the opportunity to create value in the industrial\/logistics space, and we look forward to delivering another well-located, market-appropriate facility in a region where we have significant experience and a history of success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Closing on the purchase of the Lehigh Valley Land is subject to a number of contingencies including the satisfactory completion of due diligence by INDUS and the receipt of all the necessary entitlements and approvals for development. There can be no guarantee that the Lehigh Valley Land acquisition or the subsequent development of a 90,000 square foot industrial\/logistics building will be completed under the contemplated terms, anticipated timeline, or at all.<\/p>\n
