MORRISTOWN, NJ — JLL Capital Markets announced that it arranged $93 million in financing for Matrix Logistics Park – Mount Olive, a two-property, under-construction, class A warehouse and distribution industrial park totalling 781,748 s/f in Mount Olive.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, a Matrix Development Group led venture, and secured the loan from Bank OZK.
The property at 2000 International Dr. is situated on 13.629 acres and totals 196,748 s/f. Key building features include single-side loading capabilities, 36-foot clear height, 34 loading docks, two drive-in doors, 110 parking spaces and 43 trailer parking spaces.
The second property is located at 3000 Continental Dr., a site redeveloped from the former BASF United States headquarters. The building totals 585,000 s/f and includes 40-foot clear heights, cross-dock configuration, 107 loading doors, four drive-in doors, 306 parking spaces and 142 trailer spaces.
The portfolio is in Mount Olive in the western section of Morris County, along the I-80, Rte. 206 and Rte. 46 corridors. Mount Olive’s central location in Northern NJ and access to I-80 has made the town a heavily demanded location for families, commercial uses and industrial users for decades. The project is within Mount Olive’s International Trade Zone, home to numerous research, development, and manufacturing companies. The International Trade Zone is designated as a Foreign Trade Zone, which allows companies to reduce costs associated with importing and re-exporting goods to foreign countries. Additionally, the project is within walking distance of Mount Olive Train Station, providing NJ Transit Rail Service along the Morristown and Montclair-Boonton Lines.
The JLL Capital Markets team was led by senior managing directors Thomas Didio and Jim Cadranell, managing director Thomas E. Didio, Jr., vice president Michael Lachs, and analyst Olivia Doody.
“We continue to see very strong interest for to-be-built speculative industrial from a range of debt capital sources. Ultimately, Bank OZK stepped up to the plate to deliver an attractive solution for Matrix and their development partner. Thank you to the Matrix Team for entrusting JLL to help bring to life this class A industrial park,” said Didio.
“Bank OZK is pleased to provide construction financing for this large-scale class A industrial development that will serve as a convenient, flexible and accessible distribution hub,” said Dave Sarner, managing director of originations at Bank OZK.
