How we transact

Five ways a deal comes together

  • Sale & leasebacks

    We buy an owner-occupier's premises and lease them straight back, releasing 100% of the capital.

  • Acquisitions

    We acquire existing leased industrial investments, including the assumption of in-place leases.

  • Expansion & repositioning

    We fund and manage extensions, reconfiguration and repositioning of assets we hold or acquire.

  • Purpose-built & forward commitments

    We commit to fund and develop a facility to a tenant's brief, then hold it long term.

  • Follow-on deals

    We back existing tenant partners as their footprint grows — the next building, and the one after.

How we assess

What we weigh on every deal

We assess each opportunity on its fundamentals, and we move quickly. Speed and certainty of capital deployment are part of what we offer a vendor or a tenant — a clear answer, and a clean execution.

  • Location and the quality of the underlying land
  • Replacement value of the improvements
  • Tenant creditworthiness and covenant
  • How critical the asset is to the tenant's operations
  • The structure and certainty of the transaction
