- Single-tenant, two-story office building, totaling over 66,000 sq. ft. acquired as a value-add unoccupied asset subject to an existing lease with four years remaining

Value-Add: Tenant Retention in Mission Critical Sub-Market
- Acquired off-market at discount to replacement cost due to relationship with the seller who was liquidating a closed-end fund
- Challenging to finance as the property was 100% leased short-term to a tenant (Advantest) which had vacated the premises. Drawbridge was able to finance the asset with its credit facility.
- Within one year of acquisition, Drawbridge executed a new 7-year replacement lease with Imagination Technologies concurrent with negotiating a lease termination fee from the existing tenant
- Drawbridge utilized the termination fee funds, which represented approximately 50% of Advantest’s remaining lease obligation, to fund tenant improvements and a complete interior renovation
