Letter of Intent · Purchase Proposal
Ridgeline Purchase Proposal (LOI)
Word · Noah Balanoff → Gary Mitchell, Hartline Realty Advisors · 2/19/26
Two entities
Ridgeline Capital Partners LLC is the purchasing entity and investor. It acquires and owns the property. Ridgeline Logistics Services LLC is the leasing and operational entity.
Sample only — document not included
What this document isA non-binding LOI outlining the terms under which the buyer would acquire 18 Corporate Court (±24,150 SF facility on ±3.85 ac) with a seller leaseback. Binding only upon a fully executed PSA.

Key terms

Purchase Price$10,750,000
Earnest Money$150,000 within 3 business days of PSA; refundable absent purchaser default
Seller Leaseback96 months · 1.6 acres · $24,500/acre/mo NNN · 3.0% escalations
Investigation Period45 days; Phase 1 + soil borings; terminable at sole discretion
Use VarianceRequired to operate a trucking terminal, per the Borough.

Why it matters

  • Rent mismatch. LOI proposes $24,500/acre/mo; the Ridgeline model runs $23,000/acre/mo. Reconcile before underwriting.
  • Use variance is confirmed required. Resolves the booklet's most decision-critical open item. The terminal use is NOT as-of-right and carries variance timeline risk.

Acquisition & Cash Flow Model
Ridgeline 18 Corporate Court Financial Model
Excel · Land-lease / leaseback · 10-year projection
Sample only — model not included
What this document isAn Excel model (Acquisition + 10-Year Cash Flow tabs) evaluating the purchase as a landlord play. The site is leased 100% to two tenants: the Seller Leaseback on 1.6 acres and Ridgeline Logistics Services on 2.25 acres, both at $23,000/acre/mo NNN. Financing folds a $2.25M LoadMaster buildout into the acquisition.

10-year trajectory (3.0% rent growth)

Cash Flow After DebtYr1 $112,342 → Yr5 $245,708 → Yr10 $436,194
Cumulative Cash Flow by Yr10$2,678,942
DSCR / Cash-on-Cash by Yr101.51x / 16.78%

Why it matters

  • Rent basis differs from the LOI. Model runs both tenants at $23,000/acre/mo; the LOI proposes $24,500 for the leaseback. Reconcile before underwriting.
  • Day-one leverage is tight but positive. Year 1 DSCR of 1.13x and 4.32% cash-on-cash lean on future rent growth, not day-one cash flow. The return profile is back-loaded.
  • Building SF (24,150) exceeds the tax card (18,750) by ~5,400 SF. Confirm this is post-expansion, not an inconsistency.

Drawing LMS-22104 · Preliminary
LoadMaster Cross-Dock Layout
4-sheet PDF · Drawn by Reyes · 2/18/26 · Bidding only
Sample only — document not included
What this document isA preliminary dock-equipment layout package from LoadMaster Dock Systems, stamped “NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION, FOR BIDDING PURPOSES ONLY.” A conceptual package to solicit contractor pricing for converting/expanding the building into a cross-dock trucking terminal. It is design intent, not a buildable plan.

Two configurations shown

Phase 1, Section A-ASingle run: 180' × 30' platform, (15) 4'×7' levelers, ±6", 115V, integrated shelters + doors.
Phase 2, Section B-B110' × 220' face, (32) levelers + a 28'×8' dock-to-ground ramp (14,000 lb), wrapping the footprint.
Platform spec (both)Solid-deck, 14K-lb capacity, non-impact vehicle restraints, egress stairs.
Combined scaleUp to 47 dock positions vs. the 18,750 SF office/garage on the tax card.

Why it matters

  • Clearest evidence of intended use and scale. Bring it to the Zoning/Code Officer. It shows concretely what the buyer intends to build.
  • Triggers entitlements. Almost certainly a new/amended COO and site plan approval; may push into conditional-use or use-variance territory.
  • Reconcile the cost. The two phases differ substantially. Reconcile against the $2.25M LoadMaster line in the Ridgeline model.

Master Due Diligence Booklet
18 Corporate Court Due Diligence Records Booklet
17-page PDF · Block 88, Lot 12.01 · 3.85 acres · Crestfield, NJ
Sample only — document not included
What this document isThe master booklet for the deal. It pulls the municipal record for 18 Corporate Court into one place and reads every finding against the buyer's plan: convert the existing 18,750 SF office/garage into a cross-dock truck terminal and expand it. The record itself is mostly still outstanding. The Borough said its zoning and building file is too large to copy and must be reviewed in person (973-555-0142 x118), so the booklet is really a roadmap of what's confirmed, what's missing, and what to nail down before committing.

Where each of the nine record categories stands

1. Variances (all types)Outstanding. No records produced. A 1968 building on industrial land likely had bulk/parking variances that could cap the expansion
2. Building permit historyOutstanding. Watch for open, un-finaled permits that block new construction permits
3. Certificate of OccupancyOutstanding. Need to confirm the certified use and whether a terminal fits it
4. Code violation historyPartial. Borough confirms no outstanding violations as of 2/20/26, but gave no historical record
5. Inspection reports (bldg/elec/plumb/fire)Outstanding. Matters for retrofitting a 1968 building to modern dock/fire loads
6. Notices of violation / remediationPartial. None open now, but a closed remediation order could still restrict excavation
7. Site plan approvalsOutstanding. Sets the approved footprint, parking, circulation, and stormwater capacity
8. Use variance / conditional useOutstanding. The make-or-break item: is a terminal permitted, conditional, or variance-only?
9. Tax Assessor property cardProvided in full. The only complete item (see the OPRA & Tax Card tab).

Why it matters

  • The building is worth little. This is a land/site play. The tax card puts improvements at only ~18% of value. Underwrite the 3.85 acres and its utility, not the 1968 structure.
  • Whether a truck terminal is even allowed is unresolved. Item 8 is unanswered in the file, but the Ridgeline LOI already confirms the Borough requires a use variance, so treat the terminal use as NOT as-of-right and price in the variance timeline and risk.
  • Expansion stacks a second approval on top. Added building area, trailer parking, and dock work will likely trigger a new site plan and possibly a fresh variance, separate from getting the terminal use approved in the first place.
  • One in-person file review closes most of the gaps. Categories 1 through 8 largely resolve at a single Code/Fire appointment (973-555-0142 x118). The OPRA response window runs to 3/06/26. Lock in the visit before then.

Municipal Record · Tax Assessor Card
Property Record & Municipal Response
4-page PDF · Crestfield · Tax + Fire Prevention
Sample only — document not included
What this document isThe hard facts on the property from the Borough itself: the Tax Assessor's full property record card (ownership, size, age, assessed value, sale history) plus the Fire/Code department's one confirmation that there are no open violations today. This is the only part of the records request the Borough actually handed over. Everything else in the booklet still sits in the file awaiting an in-person review.

Tax card: key data points

Owner of RecordCrestfield Industrial Holdings, LLC (Freehold, NJ)
Building / YearOffice/Garage, 18,750 SF, built 1968 (eff. 1962)
Acreage / Class3.850 acres · 4A (Commercial)
Land / Improvement / Total (2026)$1,860,000 / $410,000 / $2,270,000
Zoning Neighborhood / VCS310 / B310
Prior Sales$650,000 (2015) → $1,210,000 (2016)

Why it matters

  • Land-dominated value. Improvements are ~18% of total. The 1968 building is functionally obsolete relative to the land.
  • Baseline, not history. “No outstanding violations” is a present-tense snapshot, not a historical enforcement record.
  • SF discrepancy. Tax card shows 18,750 SF; the model uses 24,150 SF. Reconcile against the expansion.

Crestfield Code · CF2091-014c
Schedule of Permitted Uses, ARI Zone
1-page PDF · § 14 Attachment 3 · Supp. 4, Feb 2026
Sample only — document not included
What this document isThe zoning ordinance's use schedule for the Adaptive Reuse Industrial (ARI) Zone, listing what is permitted by right, what is allowed only as a conditional use, and what counts as an accessory use. Note: the tax card lists the zoning neighborhood as “310 / B310,” so confirm at the file review that ARI is the actual district governing the site.

Permitted uses (by right)

IndustrialLight industrial and manufacturing within a fully enclosed building
WarehousingAllowed, except storage of highly combustible or explosive matter or anything deleterious to public health, safety, and welfare
Offices & workshopsBusiness and professional offices; craftsman workshops (showroom capped at 10% of the use); art galleries and studios
Service & retailAuto detailing; commercial laundries; dog and cat grooming; spas and fitness facilities; food co-ops and indoor farmers' markets
RecreationKarate, gymnastics, sports and dance training, indoor fields; skating rinks
StorageSelf-storage

Conditional uses (see § 14-19)

AssemblyHouses of worship; veterans and civic clubs
AutomotiveRepair automotive uses
UtilitySatellite antenna

Accessory uses

Parking & loadingOff-street parking and loading facilities
SignageSigns
Enclosed storageAccessory storage within a fully enclosed permanent structure, for materials, goods, and supplies meant for sale or consumption on the premises
Site featuresCafes; fences and walls; solar panels
Catch-allOther customary accessory uses and buildings clearly incidental to the permitted principal uses

Why it matters

  • No express “truck terminal” use in any column. Warehousing is permitted by right, but a cross-dock freight terminal is not named as permitted, conditional, or accessory anywhere in the schedule.
  • “Fully enclosed building” language is the sticking point. Both the industrial use and the accessory storage use require a fully enclosed structure, which cuts against an open-yard trailer or cross-dock operation. Raise this directly with the Zoning Officer.
  • Loading is only an accessory use, not a principal one. Off-street parking and loading appears as an accessory use, meaning it is meant to support a permitted principal use on the site, not to be the main operation. That is another reason a standalone terminal likely needs a variance. Conditional uses are governed by § 14-19; request that section at the file review.
