Storage lenders

The BSC Group

The BSC Group is a commercial mortgage banking firm that arranges debt and equity financing for commercial real estate nationwide, with its niche in self-storage and outdoor hospitality. Deals shown on the site include fixed-rate permanent loans, non-recourse bridge loans for acquisition and repositioning, small balance programme executions, and CMBS refinances, placed with banks, national insurance companies, and conduit lenders.

The advisory work sits ahead of the placement. The firm says it helps owners understand the current and future leverage capacity of a property, analyse its true value so inflated perceptions do not drive decisions, and weigh lending options across the capital stack before going to market. It positions itself on setting realistic financing expectations rather than on the largest quoted proceeds.

Closed transactions published on the deal history page range from a $2.25M CMBS refinance of a boat and RV storage facility to a $32.6M refinance of a five-property, multi-state self-storage portfolio, with structures including 10-year fixed terms, interest-only periods, and non-recourse terms.

The firm was founded in 2009 and its about page gives Chicago as its headquarters, while the contact page lists an address in Downers Grove, Illinois. It states that team members have completed more than 500 financing transactions valued at more than $4 billion. Fee structure is not published; confirm the engagement terms and which lenders would be approached for your deal.
