Logistic Properties of the Americas (NYSEAMERICAN:LPA) moved closer to selling Parque Logístico Lima Sur after Peru’s antitrust authority, INDECOPI, approved the transaction on September 11. FIBRA Prime would acquire the entire 1.3-million-square-foot logistics park for $145 million. Customary administrative closing matters remain outstanding.
Management expects approximately $85 million of net proceeds after debt repayment and before taxes, with Mexico the intended destination. Approval advances the financing of that expansion, while the investment case rests on replacing an established income stream.
Lima Sur generated $10.3 million of cash net operating income, or cash NOI, during the 12 months ended March 31, 2026. Cash NOI is a company-defined non-IFRS measure of property income after operating expenses, adjusted to remove straight-line rental accounting. It excludes corporate overhead, financing costs, income taxes, and other non-property items.
Bull Case
Logistic Properties of the Americas has demonstrated an ability to develop, lease and operate logistics assets. Second-quarter revenue increased 26.1% to $14.7 million, while stabilized portfolio occupancy reached 100% as of June 30.
Mexico already contributes revenue. Two properties acquired in Puebla in August 2025 generated approximately $0.5 million during the second quarter. That provides an operating foothold for deploying proceeds.
The June sale announcement targeted full investment of the proceeds in stabilized, high-quality Mexican properties over the following 12 to 18 months. Acquiring occupied assets could shorten the gap between spending capital and collecting rent. Purchase prices, lease terms, and tenant quality will determine the returns.
Logistic Properties of the Americas also plans to continue operating Lima Sur for FIBRA Prime, preserving tenant relationships and generating fee income. Debt repayment should reduce interest expense, providing another offset to the property income surrendered.
Bear Case
Selling Lima Sur removes a substantial source of recurring property earnings. Mexico contributed only a small portion of second-quarter revenue, so replacing that income requires a meaningful expansion of the existing operation.
The $85 million estimate is before taxes. Actual deployable cash will therefore depend on the final tax bill and closing adjustments. The approval announcement did not quantify the after-tax proceeds, management fees, or expected returns on replacement properties.
Timing also matters. A 12-to-18-month deployment program can leave proceeds earning less than the property sold while management completes acquisitions. Development projects would add construction, permitting, and leasing risks before producing stabilized income.
Logistic Properties of the Americas must also avoid accepting weaker tenants or overpaying to meet a deployment timetable. Strong demand can support rents while simultaneously raising acquisition prices. Higher expected returns only create value if they compensate for the additional risks and costs.
Hedge Fund Sentiment
The filings available so far reflect positions held before Logistic Properties of the Americas received regulatory approval for its proposed Peru property sale. Insider Monkey’s database showed 4 hedge funds holding Logistic Properties at the end of 2Q2026.
Conclusion
Logistic Properties of the Americas has cleared the final regulatory hurdle and brought substantial reinvestment capital closer to availability. The transaction becomes compelling if Mexican property income, retained management fees, and interest savings compensate for the income sold after taxes and deployment costs. Closing proceeds, acquisition yields, tenant commitments and the time required to generate replacement cash flow are the decisive milestones.
