JLL arranges $12M refinancing for Orlando industrial center

MORRISTOWN, N.J., March 4, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $12 million refinancing for Silver Star Commerce Center, an eight-building light industrial center totaling 254,915 square feet in Orlando, Florida.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Denholtz Properties, to secure the seven-year fixed-rate loan with BankUnited. Loan proceeds will be used to refinance the loan HFF placed in 2017, which Denholtz Properties used to acquire the property and make capital improvements to the complex and individual units. Since purchasing the property, the borrower has invested more than $1 million into the space.

Situated on 19.50 acres at 3600-3820 Silver Star Road, Silver Star Commerce Center is in the Northwest Orange County Industrial submarket. The center is within one mile of both State Route 434 and U.S. Highway 411 and proximate to Interstate 4, all of which provide unparalleled access to the state of Florida. Additionally, the property is less than 12 miles from Orlando International Airport. Constructed in phases between 1971 and 1985, Silver Star Commerce Center features ceiling clear heights of 14 to 20 feet, and the 96%-leased multi-tenanted property houses 28 tenants across 30 occupied suites.  

The JLL Capital Markets team representing Denholtz Properties was led by Senior Managing Directors Jon Mikula and Michael Klein, Director Maxx Carney and Analyst Carlos Silva.

“JLL is pleased to have been able to work with Denholtz Properties to finance this asset a second time,” stated Klein. “It’s great to watch a strong operator such as Denholtz implement their business plan and be rewarded for their efforts.”

“BankUnited was uniquely suited to refinance this asset for Denholtz given their strong track record financing similar assets in Central and South Florida,” Carney added. “The combination of an exceptional borrower and operator, a superior asset, strong market fundamentals and a creative lender will help position Silver Star Commerce Center as one of the premier light industrial assets in central Florida.”
