Exhibit 99.5

Subject: Industrial Property Trust to sell Portfolio of Assets to Prologis

        We are very pleased to inform you that Industrial Property Trust Inc. (IPT), an investment platform sponsored by Black Creek Group, has entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) will acquire IPT in an all cash deal valued at approximately $3.99 billion, subject to certain transaction costs. The merger will include 100% of IPT's wholly-owned real estate assets, but will exclude IPT's ownership interests in the BTC portfolio described below. The wholly-owned assets represent 37.5 million square feet in 236 properties located across 24 geographical areas and are currently 97% leased.

        IPT also has interests in two build-to-core joint ventures (the BTC Portfolio). IPT's ownership share of the BTC Portfolio's gross real estate was valued at approximately $295 million, at the time of their most recent appraisal as of November 30, 2018. The BTC Portfolio is not part of the merger with Prologis. Combining the consideration to be paid for the merger and the most recent appraised value of the BTC Portfolio, the total gross value, including debt, is approximately $4.3 billion.

        Pursuant to the merger agreement, a subsidiary of Prologis will acquire IPT's wholly-owned portfolio through a merger. Each Class A and Class T share of IPT will automatically be converted into the right to receive a net adjusted amount in cash currently estimated to be approximately $12.18 per share. This is a preliminary estimate and is subject to final adjustment as contemplated in the merger agreement in connection with the BTC Portfolio and is subject to any withholding required under applicable tax law.

        IPT is currently exploring alternatives for the BTC Portfolio. The determination of the outcome for the BTC Portfolio is expected to be made no later than 30-days from July 15, 2019 and will be communicated to stockholders in IPT's definitive proxy statement relating to the merger transaction.

        Merger proceeds are expected to be disbursed to IPT's stockholders within five business days following closing. Merger proceeds will be sent in accordance with the current instructions for the applicable stockholder's account.

        Subject to the satisfaction of applicable closing conditions (including the receipt of the requisite approval of IPT's stockholders through a proxy), the transaction is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2019 (but no later than March 31, 2020).

        This information was announced today via a press release that will likely get picked up in the news and your team may see it. We wanted to let you know prior to communicating to advisors and investors. We will begin communicating this information to everyone today and wanted to make sure you had the same information they will get.

Best,
