JLL Capital Markets led the acquisition financing efforts for the 5-building, Class A portfolio in San Francisco and San Carlos
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 7, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $213.4 million in financing for a five-building life sciences portfolio totaling 325,977 square feet in South San Francisco and San Carlos, California.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, an affiliate of GI Partners, to secure the seven-year, fixed-rate loan through a life insurance company. Loan proceeds were used to finance the assets acquired via a recent sale arranged by JLL.
The portfolio consists of one building at 7000 Shoreline Ct. in South San Francisco, two buildings at 341-343 Oyster Point Blvd. in South San Francisco and two buildings at 75 and 125 Shoreway Rd. in San Carlos. All three properties are located along U.S. 101, in one of the world’s strongest life sciences markets with excellent access to venture capital, intellectual capital and premier research-oriented universities such as Stanford and University of California, San Francisco.
According to JLL’s 2022 Life Sciences Lab Real Estate Outlook, venture funding continues to explode in the Bay Area and as a result South San Francisco and San Carlos are ranked among two of the strongest life sciences submarkets in the country with just a two percent vacancy rate.
Built or renovated between the years of 2001 and 2006, the portfolio offers Class A buildouts with an emphasis on quality and use flexibility. The buildings are fully operational today for research, manufacturing and biotechnology uses, offering lab space for both emerging and established tenants. The portfolio is fully leased with 4.3 years of weighted average lease team with 57% of the property’s rent roll comprising publicly traded companies.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team that represented the borrower was led by Executive Managing Director Kevin MacKenzie, Managing Directors Brian Torp and Alex Witt and Associate Samuel Godfrey.
