The properties are located next to each other along Otto Road. One of them, 66-35 Otto Road, appears to be home to an Arenson Furniture Outlet.

As of the beginning of the month, Sitex had closed $200 million worth of acquisitions over 90 days, according to GlobeSt.com and NJBIZ. One recent deal was for a 100,000-square-foot Meadowlands warehouse in Carlstadt, New Jersey.

In December, Sitex sold six parcels along the Brooklyn waterfront to UPS for $303 million, after purchasing them in 2017 for $110 million. The Red Hook site holds up to 1.2 million buildable square feet.

Meanwhile, Queens saw another industrial play this week, when Blackstone Group nabbed a two-story building near LaGuardia Airport for about $56 million. The property is home to a FedEx Ground location.
