Construction and bridge capital for temperature-controlled warehouse, freezer, and food processing facilities — from $3M to $40M, with closings in as little as 30 days.
Temperature-controlled industrial transactions, from new development to refinance.
Cold storage carries specialized risk that conventional industrial underwriting does not address.
System design, contractor experience, equipment lead times, and whether the budget reflects real mechanical cost.
Tenant credit, lease term, and how specialized the build-out is. Highly bespoke facilities carry more re-leasing risk.
Power capacity, proximity to ports, production, and distribution corridors, and local labor availability.
Common questions from developers and operators on cold storage financing.
Cold storage transactions range from $3M to $40M, covering both ground-up construction and bridge acquisitions. Larger facilities are placed through our institutional capital relationships.
Bridge transactions on existing cold storage assets typically close in about 30 days, which is the fastest timeline across our programs. Ground-up construction takes longer because of budget, permit, and contractor diligence.
Cold storage carries higher construction cost per square foot, significant refrigeration and mechanical systems, greater power demand, and more specialized tenant requirements. That reduces the pool of replacement tenants, so lenders weigh tenant credit, lease term, and re-leasing risk more heavily.
Yes. Conversions are a regular use of proceeds. Underwriting focuses on clear height, floor slab condition, power availability, and whether the refrigeration scope and budget are realistic for the existing shell.
We arrange cold storage financing in all 50 states, with particular activity near port markets, agricultural production regions, and major distribution corridors.
