UNITED STATES— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the $17,275,000 sale-leaseback of a seven-property industrial portfolio located across several Sunbelt States. Matthews™ Vice President Aria Pournazarian, Senior Associate Thiago Delia, and Associates Brody Hess and Adam Rose represented the seller in the transaction.

 

The portfolio was brought to market as part of a broader balance-sheet optimization initiative for a nationally recognized building materials & lumber distribution company. The transaction enabled the company to monetize company-owned real estate while maintaining long-term operational control of mission-critical facilities.

 

Due to the complexity of the transaction and the need for institutional-level execution, the opportunity was not widely marketed to the open market. Matthews™ conducted a highly targeted outreach that generated multiple offers within a brief two-week engagement window for select investment groups.

 

The Matthews™ agents ultimately sourced and executed the transaction with a well-capitalized investment group whose portfolio strategy and sector knowledge aligned closely with the sale-leaseback structure. Leveraging the competitive environment, Matthews™ secured pricing approximately 20% above the seller’s initial expectations while meeting the company’s critical timing requirements.

 

“From day one, our focus was on protecting the client’s priorities while minimizing execution risk,” Pournazarian said. “Our platform helped build client conviction, as they were evaluating sale-leasebacks for the first time, and supported a clear path to pricing, timing, and certainty of execution.”
