JLL arranges acquisition financing for 250K SF, Class A industrial warehouse facility in Laredo, Texas
NEW YORK CITY, July 24, 2024 - JLL Capital Markets announced today that it arranged acquisition financing for 15241 Fatima Drive, a 250,000-square-foot, Class A industrial warehouse facility in Laredo, Texas.
JLL represented the borrower, Thor Equities, and secured floating-rate acquisition financing with Shelter Growth Capital Partners ("SG Capital").
The industrial facility recently delivered in Q4 2023 and is 100% leased to EELCO, a U.S. Customs broker. With 30-foot clear heights, 48 docks, 233 trailer stalls and 272 parking spaces, along with 3,000 square feet of office space, the facility is perfectly designed to meet the needs of the market's typical warehouse user.
Situated on 18 acres, right off of I-35 in Laredo's North Submarket, the property is less than 10 miles from the World Trade Bridge, the primary border crossing for freight transport between the U.S. and Mexico. Laredo serves as the primary U.S. and Mexico land port and facilitates an impressive $25 billion in trade value per month, accounting for nearly 60% of all trade between the two countries.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Peter Rotchford, Senior Directors David Sitt and Jarrod McCabe, Associate Foster Huggins and Analyst Jordan Buck.
"The acquisition financing secured for 15241 Fatima Drive underscores the robust demand for high-quality industrial assets along the Texas and Mexico border. This alignment seamlessly complements THOR's existing logistics portfolio in Mexico." said Rotchford.
