We invite you to reach out to our team to learn more about how we can best partner together.

Sale Leaseback

Real estate holdings are typically not core to business operations, but account for a large proportion of hidden capital on a company’s balance sheet. Sale leaseback transactions monetize these assets, unlocking valuable capital that can be deployed elsewhere as desired, while maximizing return for investors. In a sale leaseback, the buyer (in this case, BNL) becomes the property landlord, who then leases the property back to the seller, who becomes the tenant.

Tenants have utilized sale leaseback proceeds to fund business growth and expansion, paydown debt, fund leveraged buyout opportunities and business recapitalizations.

Benefits

Unlock 100% of the asset’s value with no refinancing risk
Maintain full operational control of the property
Maximize tenants flexibility under a well-structured lease
Potential tax efficiencies: the deductibility of rent versus interest

Build-to-Suit

BNL’s build-to-suit program offers tenants the opportunity to construct new customized facilities at a potentially lower cost than what might be obtained through a traditional ground-up development process. As a long-term property owner, BNL has access to competitive cap rates, and provides 100% of the capital required for construction— alongside the tenant’s choice of developer and general contractor.

Similarly, renovation-to-suit offers tenants the opportunity to retrofit existing structures with BNL at the helm of the entire process, from initial property acquisition—within the tenant’s budget and desired parameters—to final design. BNL’s track record of proven and extensive due diligence relationship, efficient underwriting, and surety of close is simply standard business.

Benefits

Efficient capital stack and competitive cap rates
Reduce traditional exposure to capital market volatility
Lower cost of occupancy
Maintain full control over site selection, design, developer, and general contractor

UPREIT

BNL’s UPREIT (Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust) program allows property owners to contribute property to the operating partnership of the REIT (BNL) on a tax-deferred basis in exchange for an equity interest in the form of operating partnership units (OP Units).

Benefits

Tax deferral and protection: potentially avoid capital gains taxes
Reduce active management responsibilities
Increase potential for liquidity
Increase portfolio diversification
Simplify estate planning
Debt structuring optionality
