A joint venture between Triangle Equities and Goldman Sachs Asset Management‘s Urban Investment Group has obtained $136 million for the recapitalization of Terminal Logistics Center, a 184,747-square-foot industrial condominium project in Jamaica, N.Y., in the Queens borough.
Working on behalf of the borrower, JLL arranged $75 million in debt, provided by H.I.G. Realty Credit Partners, and $61 million in equity, supplied by the joint venture partners. The new financing replaces the initial $87 million construction loan originated by CIT Bank and the equity provided by Township Capital together with a pension fund client advised by L&B Realty Advisors.
The first vertical air cargo development on the East Coast
Situated in an Opportunity Zone on approximately 3 acres, Terminal Logistics Center is the first vertical air cargo development on the East Coast. Triangle Equities purchased the site back in 2018; at the time, the project was supposed to include 300,000 square feet of space across a four-story building.
The two-story development, now jointly owned by Triangle and Goldman Sachs, broke ground in 2020 and is slated for completion by the end of the second quarter in 2023. The Class A building features 26-foot clear heights, a 50-foot column grid and a 300 pound live-load capacity, as well as 53-foot tractor trailers and 26 berths dedicated to air cargo, logistics and industrial use. The facility is fully leased by DO & CO New York Catering.

Industrial projects underway in New York City
New York City’s industrial sector registered a vacancy rate of 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, a JLL report shows. The market had 3.6 million square feet of space under construction, with 3.1 million square feet delivered last year, a 37.7 percent increase from the previous peak in 2018.
NYC’s largest underway project is a 1.3 million-square-foot distribution center developed by Turnbridge Equities. The facility topped out in December and is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2023.
Another project topped out in February, this time in Long Island City, N.Y. With delivery expected in the spring of 2024, the 900,000-square-foot mixed-use development will be home to a film and television production studio.
In June, Wildflower Ltd. and Drake Real Estate Partners broke ground on another Queens project. The roughly 309,000-square-foot logistics development is taking shape at 28-02 Whitestone Expressway in College Point, N.Y.
