Acting
on behalf of the seller BTR Capital Group, JLL Capital Markets facilitated the
sale to Saxum Real Estate Partners. Additionally, working on behalf of the new
owner, JLL secured joint venture equity from Meadow Partners along with
acquisition financing from Prime Finance.
Powered
by the collaborative nature of the platform, JLL’s Tom Romano, Managing
Director, initiated the relationship as the leasing agent for BTR Capital Group
and assembled a best-in-class real estate investment advisory team including
Senior Managing Directors Jeremy Neuer, Marc Duval and Jose Cruz,

Duval
and Lundy also secured the joint venture equity on behalf of the buyer while
Senior Managing Director Michael Klein and Managing Director Tom
Didio, Jr., secured the debt.
“JLL
is committed to putting the full power of the platform to use for our clients,”
commented Duval. “This was a joint effort across four teams in two different
offices who have embraced the change and growth within our industry.”
“Saxum
and Meadow Partner’s reputation and business plan for the asset drew
significant interest from lenders. We are happy to have secured acquisition
financing that best met the sponsorship’s needs,” added Klein.
The
low coverage property sits on 16-acre lot, featuring an existing
80,000-square-foot building, which is 72% leased, and 530 surface parking
spaces. The property’s location and layout provides flexibility for future
utilization.

“As
developable land becomes increasingly scarce in the highly sought-after Central
New Jersey industrial market, 1 Electronics Drive is perfectly positioned to
cater to the growing demand for prime locations with strong leasing
fundamentals,” said Lundy.
“Additionally, we’re looking forward to seeing the new
venture execute their business plan and capitalize on the region's high demand
for multi-tenanted, shallow bay industrial space.”
