MANGEMENT TRANSITION

        Dwight L. Merriman III, currently our Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer and Director, has been named Chief Executive Officer of Industrial for Black Creek Group, LLC ("BCG"), an affiliate of our sponsor. In this role, Mr. Merriman will oversee the acquisition, asset management and portfolio management activities for all industrial investments across BCG-sponsored funds, including us. In connection with this appointment, on December 9, 2019, our board of directors (the "Board") appointed Jeffrey W.

Additionally, on December 9, 2019, Mr. Merriman announced to the Board that he will step down as our Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of January 1, 2020, but will continue to serve as a director of the Company.

        Mr. Taylor will hold office until his respective successor is duly elected or appointed and qualifies or until his earlier death, resignation or removal in the manner set forth in our bylaws.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS OFFERING

        The following supersedes and replaces the first paragraph of the answer in the first question, "What is the experience of the Advisor's management team?" on page 40 of the Prospectus:

        The key members of the Advisor's management team include, in alphabetical order, Rajat Dhanda, David Fazekas, Andrea Karp, Brian Lange, Thomas G. McGonagle, Dwight L. Merriman III, Lainie P. Minnick, James R. Mulvihill, Taylor M. Paul, Scott W. Recknor, Scott Seager, Jeffrey W. Taylor, Peter M. Vanderburg, J. R. Wetzel, Joshua J. Widoff and Evan H. Zucker.

S-1


property types, as well as in the asset allocation and investment management of real estate, debt and other investments.

RISK FACTORS

        1)    The following supersedes and replaces the first risk factor on page 94 in the section titled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Advisor and Its Affiliates" of the Prospectus:

We depend on the Advisor and its key personnel; if any of such key personnel were to cease employment with the Advisor or its affiliates, our business could suffer.

        Our ability to make distributions and achieve our investment objectives is dependent upon the performance of the Advisor in the acquisition, disposition and management of our investments, the selection of customers for our properties, the determination of any financing arrangements and other factors. In addition, our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain of the Advisor's key personnel, including, in alphabetical order, Rajat Dhanda, David M. Fazekas, Andrea L. Karp, Brian Lange, Thomas G. McGonagle, Dwight L. Merriman III, Lainie P. Minnick, James R. Mulvihill, Taylor M. Paul, Scott W. Recknor, Scott Seager, Jeffrey W. Taylor, Peter M. Vanderburg, J. R. Wetzel, Joshua J. Widoff and Evan H. Zucker, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We currently do not have, nor do we expect to obtain, key man life insurance on any of the Advisor's key personnel. If the Advisor were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of one or more of these individuals through their resignation, retirement, or due to an internalization transaction effected by another investment program sponsored by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or due to such individual or individuals becoming otherwise unavailable because of other activities on behalf of the Sponsor or its affiliates, our operating results could suffer.

        2)    The following supersedes and replaces the second paragraph of the last risk factor beginning on page 94 in the section titled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Advisor and Its Affiliates" of the Prospectus:

        The Sponsor and the Advisor have implemented lease allocation guidelines to assist with the process of the allocation of leases when we and certain other entities to which affiliates of the Advisor are providing certain advisory services have potentially competing properties with respect to a particular customer. Pursuant to the lease allocation guidelines, if we have an opportunity to bid on a lease with a prospective customer and one or more of these other entities has a potentially competing property, then, under certain circumstances, we may not be permitted to bid on the opportunity and in other circumstances, we and the other entities will be permitted to participate in the bidding process. The lease allocation guidelines are overseen by the Combined Industrial Advisors Committee, which includes certain individuals associated with other entities to which affiliates of the Advisor are providing similar services.
