“Buildings H and E at Logan North Industrial Park presented lenders with the unique opportunity to finance the construction of two Class A, pre-leased industrial facilities,” added Alascio, Executive Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield. “The industrial market has continued to gain traction and demand far outweighs supply. We experienced a competitive process and, ultimately, Wells Fargo and Provident Bank set forth competitive terms that led to a seamless execution.”
