Affinius Capital LLC (“Affinius Capital”) today announced the closing of a $76.25 million loan to finance the acquisition of Scotts Midwest Distribution Center, a Class A, 1.3 million-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility located in Marysville, OH. The loan was made to Sculptor Real Estate, and the proceeds will be used to acquire the property and hold it long term.

Affinius Capital Senior Vice President Tyler Figley commented, “This is a premier, institutional-quality asset strategically positioned in an established industrial hub in the Columbus region. We are proud to partner with Sculptor Real Estate on another acquisition.”

The property was developed in 2023 as a build-to-suit for The Scotts Company by Crawford Hoying and spans 1.3 million square feet, featuring cross dock configuration, 40’ clear heights, 120 dock doors, four drive-in doors, and 388 parking spaces. It benefits from proximity to an expansive distribution network around the I-270, 70, and 71 interstate system and the cargo focused Rickenbacker International Airport.

The facility is leased to The Scotts Company, a subsidiary of The Scotts Miracle-Gro, the pre-eminent brand name in gardening and lawn care in the U.S. The property serves as the primary distribution hub for the tenant and is strategically located less than two miles from their dominant manufacturing facility and global headquarters.
