MetroGroup Realty Finance Provides Acquisition Financing for Four Triple-Net Lease Properties in Illinois and Texas


J.D. Blashaw
NEWPORT BEACH, CA  MetroGroup Realty Finance, a private commercial mortgage banking firm based in Newport Beach, California, recently provided a total of $11.75 million in financing to private investors for three separate 1031-exchange transactions involving the acquisition of four single-tenant triple-net lease assets in Illinois and Texas.

 The transactions represent a rising trend of local investors looking outside of California for this asset class, according to J.D. Blashaw, Vice President of MetroGroup Realty Finance.

“Cap rates have compressed and, consequently, yields have declined significantly in California, so we are increasingly seeing local credit tenant net lease investors seeking higher cap rates and yields on their investments,” says Blashaw.

“This search has taken them away from their backyards into other states and sometimes secondary markets, and the passive nature of triple-net leases matches well with these investors desire to own properties with little or no management obligations.”

The credit tenant net lease market has perennially been attractive to 1031 exchange buyers seeking safe, long-term and passive investments for their capital, Blashaw says.

The firm arranged financing for the following properties:

5001 N. Big Hollow Road, Peoria, Illinois

            MetroGroup Realty Finance provided $5.8 million in permanent financing to a private investor for the acquisition of a 46,432 square-foot stand-alone retail building at 5001 N. Big Hollow Road in Peoria, Illinois, as part of a 1031 exchange transaction. The property is fully occupied by a Best Buy retail store.

The 6.25-year fixed rate recourse loan at 75% loan-to-value features a 25-year amortization and a flexible prepayment provision that expires after three years.

The financing was arranged by J.D. Blashaw and Ivan Kustic, also Vice President at MetroGroup Realty Finance.
