NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $75 million development facility for Rechler Business District, a master-planned industrial business park in Medford, New York.
JLL worked on behalf of Rechler Equity Partners to secure the financing through AllianceBernstein L.P.
Rechler Business District encompasses a newly constructed and fully leased 140,875-square-foot Class A shallow bay logistics facility at 10 Donald’s Way, 9.8 acres of fully leased industrial outdoor storage (IOS) space at 25 Donald’s Way and approximately 45 acres of additional development-ready land.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Peter Rotchford and Managing Director Tyler Peck.
“Securing financing for a project of this scale required a lender that understood both the strength of the existing cash flow and the long-term value creation embedded in the to-be developed,” said Rotchford. “AllianceBernstein recognized the compelling combination of stable income from an investment- grade tenant, a low leverage profile and Rechler’s track record for industrial development, which ultimately made this financing opportunity particularly attractive.”
The property is strategically located less than one-half mile from the Long Island Expressway (I-495), providing connectivity to major transportation corridors throughout the New York metropolitan area. Rechler Business District benefits from strong Long Island industrial market fundamentals, including limited new supply, sustained tenant demand and proximity to one of the nation’s largest consumer populations.
The financing comes amid continued strength in the Long Island industrial market. According to JLL Research, Long Island’s industrial vacancy rate remained just 4.9% in the first quarter of 2026—among the lowest in the Northeast—supported by steady leasing activity and limited speculative development. With only 1.36 million square feet currently under construction, much of which is owner-user product, and average asking rents holding at $18.52 per square foot, market fundamentals continue to reflect sustained tenant demand and a constrained supply environment that supports long term industrial investment across the region.
