Analysis

Insights

The investment case depends on Northrop's continued use of a specialized secure facility, the durability of the actual lease obligor's credit, the final loan pricing, and the economics of a future sale after a 10-year leveraged hold.

Advantages

New construction, mission-critical SCIF and laboratory use, long-term lease, and Phoenix MSA location.

Concerns

Single-tenant and single-asset concentration, specialized buildout re-leasing risk, projected loan terms not yet final, and lender cash-sweep/refinancing risk.

Projected, not guaranteed. Distribution rates are the sponsor’s projections, are not a promise of performance, and can be reduced or suspended. ¹ Estimated Tax-Adjusted Yield reflects the projected impact of depreciation and amortization deductions at an assumed combined federal and state tax rate; individual tax outcomes vary — consult your CPA regarding your specific situation. Cap Rate Equivalent is a Baker 1031 Investments calculation intended to allow comparison with direct property ownership; it is not a sponsor-reported figure and does not represent a rate of return. See the private placement memorandum for the assumptions behind these figures.
