PHOENIX, Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL's Capital Markets group announced today that it has arranged an $820 million refinancing for a national industrial portfolio comprising 42 shallow bay industrial properties totalling 6.1 million square feet across six states.

JLL represented the borrower, a joint venture between affiliates of CIP Real Estate LLC and Almanac Realty Investors, to secure a floating-rate, single-asset single-borrower (SASB) refinancing led by Wells Fargo, with J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs also originating portions of the loan.

"This refinancing represents a significant milestone for our partnership with Almanac and demonstrates the strength of our diversified industrial portfolio," said Eric Smyth, CEO of CIP Real Estate. "We appreciate JLL's expertise in securing competitive terms that provide us with enhanced flexibility to continue our growth strategy in the shallow bay industrial sector, where we see tremendous opportunity to serve the evolving needs of logistics, e-commerce and distribution tenants."

"Strong sponsorship and strategic execution drove exceptional results on this significant financing," said MacKenzie.
