Lev extends its reach in the cannabis CRE market

A portion of the deal was located in Sacramento, Calif., Denver, Colo., Tempe, Ariz., and Lakeville, Mass., including a loan of $16.8 million for the Massachusetts property. Lev also helped close a $25 million deal with properties in Missouri, Arizona, and California. The property type includes a cultivation facility, commercial dispensary, or mixed-use retail property using non-recourse loans for funding.

“By working with Lev, we were able to close quickly and secure an initial debt facility of up to $4.5 million,” said Bryan McLaren, CEO of Zoned Properties, the real estate development firm that closed a debt financing deal on its Tempe property. “Lev was able to help us secure deal terms above and beyond the vast majority of cannabis deal structures we’ve seen over the past decade. At Zoned Properties, we’re focused on expanding our pipeline of properties within complex industries like legalized cannabis, and having expert capital partners is essential. It’s been a fun challenge that’s made possible by working with other forward-looking industry leaders like Lev.”
