Lakeland West Capital Sells Office Project in Arlington’s I-20 Commercial Corridor

In an ongoing portfolio disposition, Lakeland West Capital LLC has sold a vacant multi-tenant office project in the heart of Arlington’s Interstate 20 commercial corridor. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The just-sold asset is a 26,552-square-foot, single-story building on 4.85 acres at 701 E. Interstate 20. Erik Blais, vice president in the Fort Worth office of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, represented the seller of record, Lakeland West Capital 32 LLC of Waco, Texas. DUB C LP, a Fort Worth-based investment group, has won the deed with an all-cash offer, 25-day inspection and 15-day close. Ryan Matthews and Cannon Camp of JLL represented the buyer. “We had a lot of interest on the leasing end, but Lakeland’s preference was to sell. This is a strong, well-capitalized buyer who offered all cash and a closing before year-end,” Blais said. Lakeland West Capital has sold a second-generation medical office building developed in 1986 and renovated in 2006. The S-shaped structure features a portico and expansive barrel-vaulted ceiling with skylights. The property abuts Arlington Highlands, a regional open-air center with one million square feet of lifestyle retail, restaurants and entertainment venues. The new owner is planning to redevelop the class B office property, which has direct access to the I-20 frontage road. The site is zoned GC-APO (general commercial with airport overlay). “The building wasn’t the driving factor, in my opinion. It was the site of almost five acres with I-20 access,” Blais said. Lakeland West Capital retained Bradford to dispose of a five-property office portfolio in Dallas-Fort Worth earlier this year. The Arlington project is the second asset to sell. The disposition package has been whittled to 4220 W. Green Oaks Boulevard in Arlington; Airport Freeway Plaza, 4200 and 4304 Airport Freeway in Fort Worth; and Offices at Bedford West, 221 Bedford Road, Bedford, Texas. “These are good assets in particularly attractive submarkets that work well for an owner-user, just like the two that we’ve already sold,” Blais said.

Aligned Closes $1 Billion Credit Facility and First-ever U.S. Data Center Sustainability-linked Financing

Dallas-based data center provider Aligned announced completion of a $1 billion senior secured credit facility that is the first U.S. data center sustainability-linked financing. The facility is one of the largest private debt raises in data center history, consisting of a $650 million term loan, a $100 million delayed draw term loan and a $250 million revolving credit facility. Aligned engaged TD Securities as the administrative and collateral agent, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC as the syndication agent and ING Capital LLC as the sustainability structuring agent. TD Securities, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Citizens Bank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch and Nomura Securities International, Inc. served as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers for the facility. “Aligned’s latest sustainability-linked financing accelerates our goal to set a best-in-class example for the data center industry with respect to environmentally and socially sustainable growth,” said Anubhav Raj, CFO, Aligned. “Sustainable practices and principles permeate every facet of Aligned’s organization; aligning these initiatives with our financing further demonstrates an industry-leading commitment to environmental stewardship.” “As experts in sustainable finance, ING identified Aligned’s potential early on as a leader committed to solving sustainability challenges associated with data center infrastructure,” said Pim Rothweiler, regional head for technology, media and telecom, ING Americas. “Following the company’s rapid growth over the last few years, ING was able to bring its deep expertise in the sector and sustainable finance to be named the sustainability coordinator for this landmark deal, a first of its kind. We look forward to working with Aligned in the future as it continues to meet its sustainability targets.” The first-of-its-kind facility in the U.S. data center sector provides Aligned with additional capital to accelerate corporate, customer and community-related sustainability initiatives as well as short and long-term growth objectives. Aligned’s sustainability-linked financing is tied to the company’s core environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives, and key performance indicators (KPIs). Earlier this year, Aligned elevated its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability by matching 100 percent of the IT loads across its data center portfolio with certified renewable energy. The company was also named a 2020 Green Lease Leader by the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance and the Institute for Market Transformation. Aligned’s Delta3 cooling technology utilizes up to 80 percent less energy and 85 percent less water, significantly reducing environmental impact and allowing customers to expand on demand without stranding capacity, which also improves sustainability. “I couldn’t be prouder of our team’s achievements and operational strength, culminating in an ability to continue championing a slew of firsts for the data center industry,” said Andrew Schaap, CEO, Aligned. “That sentiment is recognized and echoed in this latest and unprecedented round of financing, which provides Aligned the ability to keep expanding our data center portfolio. This includes land acquisition in key U.S. and international regions to address the heightened data center demand of our marquee clients, as well as expediting the expansion of existing data center campuses.”
