SAN DIEGO, Sep. 25, 2023 - JLL Capital Markets announced today that it arranged the $40 million acquisition financing for Alligood Industrial Park, a newly-delivered, two-building, Class A industrial development situated on 36.4 acres and comprising 410,370 square feet. The property is located just outside of Nashville in Lebanon, Tennessee.

JLL represented the buyer, Pearlmark Real Estate ("Pearlmark") to secure the five-year, fixed-rate senior loan through a life insurance company.

The property features 32' clear heights, 135' truck courts, 76 dock doors, 2000-amp, 480-volt electrical, and ESFR sprinklers.

According to CoStar, Wilson County's industrial sales volume over the past year has reached over $350 million. Furthermore, asking rents have increased by at least 7% each year since 2014. In the last 12 months, roughly 4.6 million square feet of product has delivered to meet the area's demand.
