Americold Realty Trust (COLD) and EQT (EQT) said Thursday they have formed a new joint venture focused on owning, operating, and developing temperature-controlled warehouse facilities across North America.
Under the agreement, Americold Realty Trust will contribute 12 U.S. cold storage facilities valued at more than $1.3B to the venture. The portfolio includes about 124M cubic feet of refrigerated capacity and more than 400,000 pallet positions.
EQT’s Active Core Infrastructure fund will acquire a 70% stake in the venture, while Americold will retain a 30% interest and continue managing day-to-day operations. Americold expects to receive roughly $1.1B in net cash proceeds, which it plans to use to repay debt.
"This joint venture is an important strategic step…strengthening our balance sheet," said Americold CEO Rob Chambers.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
Americold shares up +2.7% in premarket trading.
