Wow I didn't realize Cole Capital has an entire shipping terminal as one of their properties. I'm always impressed to see the variety of properties Cole Capital owns; I like how they diversify their investments.

I invest in Cole REIT too and I didn't know they had this type of property in their investments. It's actually pretty cool.
