JLL represented the borrower, Birtcher Development LLC, and secured the non-recourse loan from the lender, Principal Global Investors.
“This is the second construction loan Birtcher has secured in the past 60-days with JLL’s Capital Markets Debt Advisory team. As the market continues to experience tightening within the lending community, we’re grateful for JLL’s ability to see another loan through from start to finish alongside our team,” said Brooke Birtcher Gustafson, Managing Director of Birtcher Development.
Situated on approximately 21 acres, the site will serve as a state-of-the-art facility featuring 40-foot clears heights, 62 dock-high doors, 5,642 square feet of ground floor office and 5,221 square feet of mezzanine space.

The site is three miles from the Union Pacific Intermodal Yard and five miles to the BNSF Intermodal Yard.
