JLL represented NorthBridge Partners and arranged non-recourse acquisition financing through Bristol County Savings Bank.

The portfolio is 100% leased and comprises a variety of single tenant warehouse, distribution and manufacturing buildings.

The four properties are located in well established, master-planned industrial parks and feature high-quality infrastructure with ample loading docks and power capacity, abundant parking and efficient layouts.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Managing Director Andrew Gray and Director Ryan Parker.

“There was considerable interest from local banks and life insurance companies for financing this infill portfolio of high-quality industrial assets with best-in-class sponsorship.

"The lender really distinguished itself with a strong five-year, fixed rate deal and provided flexibility for release provisions to align with the borrower’s business plan across the Portfolio,” stated Gray.

“The NorthBridge team did a tremendous job sourcing the portfolio as three separate acquisitions and we are glad our team was able to create a new local bank relationship for them on this attractive buy,” Parker added.

"BCSB’s intimate knowledge of our local communities, as well the bespoke lending and treasury solutions delivered by our commercial team, including Mike Patacao, SVP/Market Manager and Kevin McCarthy, SVP/CLO, are the perfect recipe for a banking relationship that is both dynamic and highly transparent, from term sheet through closing, and beyond.
