BOSTON, NA JLL Capital Markets has closed the $21.7 million sale-leaseback and arranged $14.5 million in acquisition financing for a 120,000-square-foot industrial warehouse and office building at 10 Trotter Dr. in the Boston-area community of Medway, Massachusetts. 

 JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Spencer Technologies, Inc.

 Lincoln Property Company acquired the asset and entered into a long-term lease with the seller for them to continue to occupy the property. Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, JLL placed the acquisition loan with HarborOne Bank.

Amy Lousararian

Built in 1983, 10 Trotter Dr. is situated on nine acres with 85,000 square feet of warehouse and 35,000 square feet of newly renovated office space.

The building offers clear heights ranging from 17 to 21 feet, three tailboard docks, one ramped door, one drive-in door and ample parking.

Coler Yoakam
The property is fully occupied by the seller, a global IT solution and services company founded in 1972 that uses the property as its global headquarters.

 The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Managing Director Coler Yoakam, Senior Directors Michael Restivo and Martha Nay and Director Lenny Pierce, along with Managing Director Sean Lynch with JLL’s Agency Leasing team.

 “This was a great opportunity for Spencer Technologies to take advantage of the sharp increase in industrial asset prices and capitalize on a sale-leaseback transaction to help free up capital and invest back into the business,” Restivo said.

 The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team working on behalf of the new owner was led by Director Amy Lousararian.

“The transaction’s tenancy, location and sponsorship were well received by the local lending community, and we are very pleased with the execution by HarborOne in this competitive process,” Lousararian added.

Melissa Rose 

MIAMI, FL, Mar. 11, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets has arranged $60 million in construction financing for The Kavista, a 282-unit, eight-story multi-housing development located in the El Portal neighborhood of Miami, Florida.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Barrington Brothers LLC, to secure the 2.5-year construction loan through Trez Capital.

 The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory Team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Melissa Rose and Director Michael DiCosimo.

Michael DiCosimo
“It was a pleasure to arrange this financing for a sophisticated local developer seeking to deliver a true community-oriented product in one of Miami’s oldest neighborhoods,” said Rose.

Ben Jacobson at Trez Capital provided seamless execution for Barrington Brothers.”


 Located at 495 N.E. 83rd St., The Kavista is conveniently situated between Miami Shores and Little River in the Village of El Portal.

The Kavista will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units with refined finishes and community amenities, including a resort-quality pool and deck, barbeque grilling area with outdoor seating, co-working lounge, theater, fitness center and electric vehicle charging stations.

The project’s architectural and landscaping design is contextual, drawing from El Portal's historic Sherwood Forest and bird sanctuary.

Barrington Brothers worked diligently with the Village of El Portal to increase density and height limits, priming El Portal for the continued development of high-quality housing.

 The borrower’s expertise in this area is proven, having developed and stabilized three multi-housing communities totaling 190 units directly across the street from The Kavista.

 The Kavista is within a five-minute walk of numerous community amenities, including grocers, health clubs and Biscayne Medical.

According to JLL Research, the region continues to be a dynamic employment market with major growth industries, including big technology, financial services, life sciences and healthcare.

They were all previously executive vice presidents with another leading commercial real estate firm in San Francisco.

Matt Kroger 

In their new roles, they will oversee JLL’s multi-housing investment advisory business throughout the region, including institutional, middle-market and private-capital transactions.

 Wagner, Kroger and Geraldo have executed dispositions throughout the greater Bay Area with a combined aggregate dollar amount of over $4.8 billion dollars, representing over 9,500 units of existing multi-housing assets, nearly 20,000 units of development site sales and nearly 10 million square feet of commercial asset and development site sales.

Brandon Geraldo 
“We are extremely excited to join the JLL platform and confident that it will amplify our efforts to provide market-leading advisory services to our regional and national clients.” said Wagner.

"The connectivity of service lines and business verticals within JLL is unmatched in the industry, and we are honored to join such an exceptional company.”
