Generating Capital to Support Expansion With a Sale Leaseback

Successful Sale Leaseback

Scioto facilitated a win-win partnership

Project Details

The Challenge

Service Provider A (SPA) is a well-established provider of residential services and lifestyle guidance for individuals with mental illness in Georgia. SPA has been at 100% occupancy for years and faced a growing demand for its services.

SPA sought to execute a sale lease-back to generate working capital to expand their platform. Unfortunately, they were dealing with an unsophisticated buyer who didn’t understand the business model and frustrations emerged soon after closing.

Enter Scioto who was able to take out the buyer, and restructure the lease to include additional funds necessary to upgrade the facility while preserving the working capital needed to grow their business.

To achieve their long-term goals and keep up with the increasing demand for their services, SPA sought a real estate partner who understood their needs and could help them expand.

Scioto’s Solution

Scioto Properties acquired the property from both SPA and the previous real estate owner and assumed the existing lease with SPA.

A 25-year, NNN lease term was negotiated, with an annual 2% escalation with 10 five-year renewal options. In addition, SPA was given a significant amount of working capital.

Benefits: 

  • Support Expansion: The modified lease allows SPA to retain control of the property while generating working capital for continued improvement and expansion. This ensures SPA will have the resources and support they need to achieve their long-term goals.
  • Diversify Investment Portfolio: Scioto Properties expanded its presence in the behavioral health field to meet growing demand. The property’s exceptional condition coupled with the tenant’s investment of over $350,000 in renovations made the investment attractive.
  • Win-Win Partnership: This mutually beneficial outcome highlights the successful partnership between SPA and Scioto Properties and serves as a testament to the value of strategic and well-executed real estate investments.

Testimonial: “Our recent work with Scioto Properties to acquire our properties and negotiate an extensive long-term NNN lease was both professionally and personally reassuring. Scioto, a sophisticated buyer acquiring our properties, afforded us the opportunity to pursue our long term goals of continuing to develop and provide much needed services in the mental health field. We look forward to a long and profitable partnership with Scioto Properties.”
