JLL arranges $111M loan for Pennsylvania logistics center
The Lehigh Valley location places it within a day’s drive of 40% of the U.S. population
LOS ANGELES, March 3, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $111 million in financing for Park 100 Logistics Center, a newly constructed 730,080-square-foot distribution facility and an adjacent 811,200-square-foot production facility that is under construction in the Lehigh Valley community of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, a partnership between GLP Capital Partners (“GCP”) and Ridgeline Property Group, to place the three-year, floating-rate loan with Wells Fargo Bank.
Park 100 Logistics Center, which is being completed in two phases this year, features 36-foot clear height, 190-foot dual truck courts, ESFR sprinkler system, 56-by-50-foot column spacing, 70-foot speed bays, 982 car spaces and 376 trailer spaces. Additionally, the property is rail served via Norfolk Southern. Situated at 7352 Industrial Boulevard at the Interstate 78 and Route 100 Interchange, the facility’s Allentown location places it within 40% of the U.S. population within a day’s drive. Park 100 Logistics Center is in the Lehigh Valley Industrial market and has access to a deep labor pool.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Directors Bill Fishel and Jon Mikula and analyst Connor Van Cleef.
“We were excited to be able to assist Ridgeline and GCP with their newest project in the Lehigh Valley,” Fishel said.
“The Lehigh Valley continues to be a significant and important location for distribution in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, and lenders are actively seeking opportunities to participate,” Mikula added.
