Dallas, TX January 5, 2022 - Essex Financial Group (“Essex”) arranged a $21.4 million bridge loan for TT Logistics F1, LP (“Sponsor”) for the acquisition of I-20 Corporate Center in DeSoto, Texas. The 385,472 square foot industrial building is situated in the Southwest Dallas Submarket with access to Dallas and Fort Worth. Prior to the sale, the seller, a Dallas-based operator, signed a long-term 265,248 square foot lease with a global manufacturer.

 

Essex placed the $21.4M, floating rate bridge loan with a relationship debt fund lender. The loan includes an initial principal balance $20.9M and a future funding facility to finance tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the 120,224 square feet of vacant space.

 

I-20 Corporate Center was constructed in 1986 and features 33’ clear heights, 21 loading docks, and a drive-in door. The building is currently configured as a multi-tenant property but can be converted to a single-tenant property if the major tenant expands. The Property’s proximity to Interstate-20 allows for excellent access to the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metro Area.

 

The Sponsor, TT Logistics F1, LP is a strategic Joint Venture between Denver-based Triumph Capital Group and Mexico City-based Abilia, with an exclusive focus on acquiring and developing high-quality logistics assets in critical markets nationwide. The acquisition of I-20 Corporate Center is the joint venture’s third acquisition and the first in the Dallas market.

 

Essex’s Capital Markets team was led by Partner Peter Keepper, Senior Analyst Brad Kraatz, and Analyst Jack Korosec.
