Meridian Capital Group Arranges $37.6 Million in Acquisition Financing for Barrington Business Center, an Industrial Property in Barrington, NJ

Meridian Capital Group, America’s most active dealmaker, arranged $37.6 million in acquisition financing for Barrington Business Center, an industrial property in Barrington, NJ on behalf of Sun Equity Partners.

The 36-month loan was provided by Tremont Mortgage Trust, features a one-year extension option, full-term interest-only payments, and was negotiated by Meridian Senior Managing Director, Abe Hirsch, and Managing Director, Matthew Texler.

Located at One Commerce Drive, the property spans 931,680 square feet and is the former headquarters of Owens Corning. It was renovated and converted to multi-tenant use in 2000, and is now home to FedEx, CHEP USA, PAE, and Camden International. Barrington Business Center is an iconic, well-known property in the area and is advantageously situated in both Barrington and Magnolia Townships. 

“As with many former heavy industrial sites, this deal had complexity with respect to its use, as well as some near-term rollover that needed to be structured around. The sponsorship benefitted from a focused brokerage partner,” said Mr. Texler.
