JLL arranges sale and financing of multi-tenant logistics and distribution portfolio in Richmond, VA

CHARLOTTE, Mar. 17, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale and financing of Northlake and Walthall Distribution Centers, a four-building, Class A multi-tenant logistics portfolio totaling 1,161,716 square feet in the Richmond, Virginia MSA.

JLL represented the seller in the sale to Richmond-based developer and operator Lingerfelt, and Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, acting on behalf of its clients. In addition, JLL worked on behalf of the new owner to secure acquisition financing.

Developed between 2000 and 2003, the institutional-grade logistics facilities feature sought-after cross-dock and rear-load configurations, market-appropriate 32-foot clear heights, ESFR fire protection and ample auto parking spaces. An efficient office buildout and multiple storefronts provide critical leasing flexibility across the portfolio. The multi-tenant facilities are 100% leased to a total of 18 diversified tenants including major, creditworthy multi-national firms.

The portfolio is located along the I-95 logistics and distribution super corridor, providing irreplaceable access to the entirety of the Richmond MSA, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and the balance of the Eastern Seaboard, including the majority of the U.S. consumer base within a two-day’s drive. Moreover, the assets feature robust connectivity to key industrial demand drivers, including the Richmond Marine Terminal (RMT), Richmond International Airport (RIC), the Port of Virginia to the east and the booming I-85 logistics corridor to the south, connecting Richmond to Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte and Atlanta.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Patrick Nally, Bill Prutting and Pete Pittroff and Directors Craig Childs and Dave Andrews, as well as Associates Josh McArdle and Zach Lloyd.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Ed Coco, Managing Directors Rob Carey and Chris Hew and Analyst Augustus Caiola.
