Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 16, 2021, INDUS Realty Trust, Inc. ("INDUS" or the "Company") issued
a press release announcing that it has completed the acquisition of a
57%-leased, approximately 197,000 square foot industrial/logistics building in
Charleston, South Carolina (the "Charleston Acquisition"), the Company's first
property in the Charleston market. The Company used cash on hand to pay the
$28.6 million purchase price, before transaction costs, and the Company expects
that the Charleston Acquisition will stabilize at an approximately 4.6% cash
capitalization rate.
The press release announcing the Charleston Acquisition also stated that, as
previously announced, the Company has an agreement to acquire, for a purchase
price of $28.0 million before transaction costs, an approximately 263,000 square
foot industrial/logistics building in Charleston, South Carolina (the
"Charleston Forward Acquisition"). The Charleston Forward Acquisition will be
built on speculation by the seller and is expected to be completed in the 2022
fourth quarter. Closing on the purchase of the Charleston Forward Acquisition is
subject to a number of contingencies including the satisfactory completion of
due diligence by INDUS. There can be no guarantee that the Charleston Forward
Acquisition will be completed under its current terms, anticipated timeline, or
at all.
A copy of the Company's November 16, 2021, press release announcing the
Charleston Acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information
contained herein and the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, is being
"furnished" and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise

this Item 7.01 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration
statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), or into any filing or other document pursuant to the
