$99M financing secured for Arden Industrial Portfolio

NEW YORK CITY, Apr. 3, 2025 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today it has arranged a $99.1 million refinancing for five multi-tenant industrial parks located across multiple states.

JLL represented the borrower, Arden Logistics Parks, in securing a floating rate loan through an Ares Management Real Estate fund.

The portfolio spans over 765,000 square feet across 11 buildings in prime, high-barrier-to-entry markets. The properties feature a mix of industrial assets, including multi-tenant shallow bay buildings and a single-tenant industrial service facility. The properties offer clear heights ranging from 14 to 24 feet, a combination of dock-high and drive-in loading positions and ample parking.

Arden acquired the properties in separate transactions from 2023 through 2024 and implemented various capital improvements and re-leasing strategies to increase occupancy and net operating income during its ownership. The portfolio is currently 94.4% leased to a diverse mix of 92 tenants spanning various industries such as healthcare manufacturing, technology, automotive and professional services. Additionally, many of the assets are strategically located near major transportation hubs, including international airports and key interstate highways, providing excellent access for last-mile distribution and regional logistics operations.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Managing Directors Lauren Kaufman and Geoff Goldstein and Senior Director Jillian Mariutti.

"With vacancy rates well below national averages and limited new supply in the pipeline, we're seeing sustained demand for infill, last-mile distribution facilities,” said Kaufman.

“The portfolio's 10.5% mark-to-market opportunity on in-place rents, coupled with Arden’s value-add strategy, positions these assets to capture the continued rent growth we're observing across these supply-constrained submarkets,” added Goldstein.
