Dallas, TX, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Sealy & Company, a fully-integrated commercial real estate investment and operating company and recognized leader in the industrial real estate market, announces the closure of two off-market transactions in one week, proving its industrial investment prowess. A 129,000-square foot distribution warehouse in the St. Louis, Missouri market and a 59,425-square foot FedEx distribution center in El Paso, Texas are the two most recent additions to Sealy & Company’s actively growing portfolio. Both off-market transactions were made for undisclosed amounts.
In his heyday in the period before the First World War, the versatile British artist John Hassall (1868–1948) was often referred to as ‘the Poster King’. Hassall also produced illustrations, postcards and various other kinds of applied design but nowadays, as Lucinda Gosling acknowledges in her account of Hassall’s life and work, he is mostly remembered for his poster
Skegness is So Bracing, commissioned by the Great Northern Railway to promote the Lincolnshire resort. The figure of the jolly fisherman on the beach established a spirited and enduringly popular icon for the English seaside. Although it was not the first of Hassall’s travel posters, it was the design where subject, humour and design combined most successfully and memorably.

The three tracks are divided into past, present, and future. Opening track “The Princess and the Clock” is a peppy, 8-bit fairytale about a kidnapped protagonist who’s trapped in a castle, while “21/04/20” recounts a day in Bromley during the first lockdown: needing to go for a walk, seeing ambulances pass, scheduling in a call with a friend. Delivered in an unaffected tone, Perry’s lyrics are matter-of-fact, like a diary entry or a shopping list: “

Sealy & Co. has grown its presence in metropolitan Kansas City with the acquisition of Lone Elm Commerce Center, an approximately 210,500-square-foot industrial facility in Olathe, Kan. A leader in the industrial real estate market, Sealy acquired the Class A distribution warehouse from its developer, Heise-Meyer LLC.
Sealy relied on the assistance of Mark Long and John Hassler of Newmark for representation in the transaction, which was an off-market deal in the increasingly competitive Kansas City investment-sales environment. “Our relationships in the market and our surety of closing are key advantages in competitive markets like we are in today,” Jason Gandy, managing director, investment
