MIAMI, Nov. 25, 2025 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today it has arranged $107.25 million in acquisition financing for MDH Partners' purchase of a six-property industrial portfolio totaling 1,475,580 square feet across Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Ohio.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, MDH Partners, to secure the loan through U.S. Bank, N.A., via a balance sheet execution.

The portfolio consists of modern industrial facilities constructed between 2018 and 2020, with one property undergoing extensive renovation in 2024. The assets, which range in size from 68,388 to 552,700 square feet, feature an average clear height of 32 feet, with truck court depths ranging from 105 to 135 feet and a combined 165 dock doors across the six properties. The assets are fully leased, with the tenant roster spanning diversified industries including food and beverage, agriculture, packaging, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and aviation.

The properties are located across the Broward County, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Louisville and Cincinnati markets. They are strategically positioned near JaxPort, Port Miami, UPS Worldport, Cincinnati Amazon Air Hub and several of the nation's busiest cargo airports. Two assets are located in high-growth Florida markets, providing access to the state's robust demographics and market fundamentals, while the Midwest properties are positioned to benefit from ongoing onshoring and manufacturing growth.

The JLL Debt Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Directors Chris Drew and Brian Gaswirth, along with Senior Director Peter Thompson, Director Jimmy Calvo and Analyst Gabriel Davenport. Nathan Balmes and Matthew Ludwig led the debt execution on MDH’s team.

"This portfolio represents an exceptional opportunity with its combination of modern construction, strategic locations and high-quality tenant roster," said Drew. "The assets are positioned in markets benefiting from robust demographic growth and proximity to critical distribution infrastructure including major ports and airports. The portfolio provides compelling value while offering security through its diverse, credit-worthy tenant base spanning multiple industries from healthcare to food service."

"With the help of JLL, MDH was able to secure highly competitive financing through our partners at U.S. Bank," said Ludwig. "We are excited to grow our relationship with both JLL and U.S. Bank through the financing of this portfolio, which is a strategic acquisition for MDH within Fund III to grow our exposure in these target markets. With just over 40% of the equity left to deploy, Fund III is well capitalized to continue executing through this market dislocation to bring together a highly accretive composition of assets."
