Boston, MA Transwestern Consulting Group (TCG) arranged two loans for NorthBridge Partners totaling $22 million. The loans will finance the acquisition and future leasing costs of 100 Adams Rd. in Clinton, and 23 Sycamore Ave. in Medford. TCG partner Chris Skeffington and vice president Andrew Stone arranged the loans. 

The financing for 100 Adams Rd. consisted of a long-term, non-recourse loan of $13.9 million through Middlesex Savings Bank. The building is fully occupied by five tenants and consists of 345,000 s/f of class A, high-bay warehouse space. Completed in 2000 and situated on 20 acres, it features modern construction, 30 ft. clear height, 53 loading docks and one drive-in door.

TCG also arranged a long-term, non-recourse loan of $8.9 million for 23 Sycamore Ave. through HarborOne Bank. The property is a class A, high-bay urban warehouse totaling 91,000 s/f, located 4 miles from downtown Boston. The property represents one of the area’s top “last-mile” facilities and a rare opportunity to lease an urban industrial warehouse/cold-storage building in the local industrial market. 

 “The Greater Boston industrial market continues to draw significant investor interest, driven by e-commerce and ‘last-mile’ logistics trends, as well as the strong regional economy,” said Stone. “NorthBridge recognizes this market dynamic and capitalized on the opportunity with the acquisition of two institutional-quality assets.”
