MDH Partners Expands Loan From Capital One to $162M
The agreement supports the firm’s recent logistics acquisitions in Phoenix and Chicago.
MDH Partners, of Atlanta, has expanded its existing loan from Capital One from $130 million to $162 million.
The loan had originally closed in April, and the expansion now covers recent acquisitions by MDH in Phoenix and Chicago. Called Frontier Loan, the financing now supports more than 2.2 million square feet of MDH’s recent acquisitions and developments in Phoenix; Streamwood, Ill.; Savannah, Ga.; Indianapolis; El Paso, Texas; and Ocala, Fla.
MDH CFO Arun Singh and Michael Loffredo, capital markets associate, secured the loan, which was originated by Capital One’s Senior Vice President Mary Lucy Lester.
MDH did not reply to Commercial Property Executive’s request for additional information.
The Frontier Loan is MDH’s second term financing deal with Capital One in the past 12 months. The first was the $59.5 million Gemini Loan that closed in July 2023. The Frontier Loan supports acquisitions and developments from MDH’s Fund II, a discretionary fund equating to $750 million of equity, with $2 billion in buying power.

The loan expansion includes 800 Phoenix Lake Ave. in Streamwood, Ill., just west of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The 152,000-square-foot Class A facility is fully leased to two users.
The other property in the expansion is Freeport Distribution Center in Phoenix, a fully leased 245,000-square-foot Class A industrial facility.
Watery woes
Last December, MDH scored a big win when it leased the entirety of the Ocala Logistics Center in Ocala, Fla., to BroadRange Logistics. Avison Young Principal & Managing Director Clay Witherspoon represented ownership, and Strategic Real Estate Partners Principal John Gosnell represented the tenant.
Although industrial real estate investment cooled across the globe during the first quarter, a recovery in demand is expected in the second half of this year, according to a JLL report released at the end of May. Rental growth, though slowing, remains positive.
The report notes that “… climate-related disruptions were evident in the Panama Canal. East Coast port markets in the U.S. are also dealing with the aftermath of the bridge collapse in Baltimore, which will shift sea cargo volumes to nearby ports in the short term while wreckage is cleared, and a temporary shipping lane is created.”
