The exact types of properties that
depreciate to a fraction of their original cost when
disposed of empty. They sell very slowly, if at all
for pennies on the dollar, and with the warehouse market
severely overbuilt, they very difficult to lease even at
giveaway prices. These are the precise properties
that should be dumped as soon as possible for the greatest
economic benefit to the corporation. However, for
these very same reasons, the entire sale leaseback
investment community has shunned these properties, leaving
essentially no sale leaseback activity in the sector that
needs it most, until now.

(BBB-) as rated by Standard and Poor's, or Baa3 by Moody's,

- Real estate must be located in the
United States or Canada, but corporate ownership can be

number of facilities / locations per transaction.
Minimum transaction value is $5 million US$.
