Medford, NY, Sept. 20, 2023 – iBorrow, a nationwide private direct lender for commercial real estate, today announced the closing of a $5.14 million loan to finance the acquisition of a 41,000 square foot industrial facility in Medford, NY.
iBorrow was able to structure a
customized financing package and close on the transaction quickly, in keeping
with the seller’s need for liquidity and the sponsor’s desire for an expedited
closing process.
“With ongoing uncertainty surrounding interest rates and the Fed continuing to consider future rate hikes, banks and other traditional financing sources continue to hang back, putting pressure on CRE investors and developers who need to move forward with their business plans,” says Brian Good, CEO of iBorrow.
“Fortunately, our
team specializes in rapid, in-depth due diligence and structuring, and we were
pleased to provide a custom-tailored solution that fit the seller’s and
sponsor’s objectives in this transaction, along with their condensed timeframe.”
The industrial facility includes one loading dock, five drive-in doors and 22’ clearance heights, and is located on a 3.11-acre parcel of land in a submarket with a strong 2.6% vacancy rate.
The property also features convenient access
to the Montauk Highway and the Long Island Expressway, making it attractively
positioned for fulfillment and distribution functions.
The acquisition financing package from iBorrow will enable the sponsors to make additional minor capex improvements to the facility and begin leasing it up at market rental rates. The sponsor has already begun marketing the property for lease and has drawn strong interest from potential anchor tenants and others.
“Investors, sellers and others cannot simply put their commercial real estate transactions on hold while banks remain on the sidelines,” concludes Good.
“They continue to need access to
reliable, transparent financing that allows them to stay on track with their
business plans, or to achieve liquidity on a timely basis. iBorrow is
demonstrating the central importance of the private direct lending channel, and
we are proud to support the sponsor of this transaction as they work to further
improve and lease up this asset.”
