OVERLAND, Mo.  — Northmarq’s Minneapolis Debt + Equity team, led by Lucas Goring and Andy Finn, secured $13.65 million in acquisition financing for Innerbelt Business Center, a 191,925-square-foot flex/showroom property located at 1908-2000 Innerbelt Business Center Drive in Overland, Missouri.

Northmarq arranged financing on behalf of the sponsor, Fountain Real Estate Capital, through a regional bank, which provided an aggressive loan structure to support Fountain’s business plan. The five-year loan included three-years of interest only along with future funding.

“Innerbelt is a strategic acquisition for Fountain Real Estate,” Goring said. “The property’s high occupancy generates strong cash flow, with potential upside as rents are brought to market levels. Fountain has a track record of recognizing value-add opportunities, and the lender’s aggressive terms reflect confidence in that business plan.”

Strategically positioned within the St. Louis industrial market, Innerbelt Business Center sits on a 6.82-acre site and offers a versatile mix of flex and showroom space. While the property is close to stabilized, Fountain Real Estate will look to push rents to market as leases reach expiration.
