Natural Capital Completes Full Exit of Fayetteville Industrial Investment

(Fayetteville, Ark.) — Natural Capital, an Arkansas-based private investment firm, has fully exited its investment in a Fayetteville industrial property leased to Kimbel Mechanical Systems, marking a completed disposition from Natural Capital Fund I.

The property was acquired by Tempus Realty Partners for $27.85 million. Natural Capital initially invested in the asset in November 2021 and has since fully exited.

The property includes three buildings totaling 288,390 square feet across 15.5 acres in Fayetteville. The buildings were constructed between 1991 and 1998 and are fully leased to Kimbel Mechanical Systems, a national mechanical contractor headquartered in Northwest Arkansas.

Natural Capital’s original investment thesis was driven by the property’s long-term triple-net lease structure, high-credit tenant profile, and built-in annual rent escalations. The firm’s strategy was to operate the asset, support a modest square-footage expansion for the tenant, and ultimately exit to an industrial real estate buyer within a five- to seven-year hold period.

“This investment is a strong example of Natural Capital’s real estate strategy in action,” said Ben Hearnsberger, Managing Director of Investments at Natural Capital. “We identified an asset with durable income, a strong tenant and a lease structure that aligned well with our investors’ objectives. During our ownership, we were able to support the tenant’s continued use of the property, generate consistent cash yield and complete a full exit to an institutional-quality industrial buyer.”

“This disposition is an important milestone for Fund I,” Hearnsberger said. “It reflects our focus on disciplined execution, thoughtful asset management and returning capital to investors as mature investments reach the right point for realization.”
