Fund I – First-Mile Cold Storage Logistics Facilities Designed to Support the Fresh Produce Industry

Fund I is a diversified fund with the purpose of acquiring and developing industrial Pre-Cooling, Cold Storage, and Processing facilities in California and Arizona.

Investment Strategy

As leaders in the acquisition, development and operation of First-Mile Cold Storage Logistics facilities, PHT has developed Fund I to acquire, develop and lease a portfolio of temperature-controlled facilities for the fresh produce industry.

We look for opportunities to disrupt, improve, and drive efficiency along the fresh produce supply chain. Our team identifies projects with high barriers to entry, weak or non-existent competition, and opportunities to leverage technology in stagnant markets and processes.

Opening for the 2026 Season

Our new facility will be the first dedicated fresh produce consolidation and shipping location in the Salinas Valley and will serve as a central distribution hub for companies sourcing produce and other perishable food from the region. By allowing for the consolidation of goods in one central location, we aim to significantly reduce transportation costs, carbon emissions, and truck traffic, while leveraging renewable energy, automation & robotics, and streamlined truck flow to increase throughput and maximize shelf life.
