SALEM, Utah - April 10, 2026 - PRLog -- Real estate private equity sponsors developing healthcare, industrial, and logistics assets are increasingly leaving returns on the table by bundling equipment costs into their property loans. Equipment Leases Inc., a national direct lender, has launched a structured program, helping sponsors carve equipment CAPEX out of their real estate financing and fund it independently, using only the equipment as collateral.
When tenant-specific equipment is rolled into a traditional property loan, it inflates the debt load, increases equity requirements, and compresses project-level IRR. By financing equipment through a separate lease or loan structure, sponsors can reduce required equity, improve loan-to-value ratios on the real estate side, and better align financing terms with each asset's useful life.
"Our flexibility allows us to structure deals that fit the customer's unique situation and help them get the equipment they need," said Traci Dolphin, President of Equipment Leases Inc. "If the equipment is revenue-generating and will help a company expand, that's exactly the kind of deal we want to finance."
The program is built for equipment-heavy real estate asset classes where tenant-specific equipment can represent millions in project cost but contributes little to underlying building value, including:
- Medical office buildings and ambulatory surgery centers
- Diagnostic and imaging facilities
- Warehouse, distribution, and cold storage facilities
- Advanced manufacturing and flex industrial space
- Data center power and cooling infrastructure
Equipment Leases takes a first lien on equipment only, with no encumbrance on the real estate, and works directly with property lenders to ensure clean lien positions and covenant compliance. Intercreditor agreements are available where needed. Sponsors are encouraged to engage during project planning or acquisition due diligence, when equipment financing can be integrated into the capital stack from the start rather than retrofitted later.
Transactions range from $500,000 to more than $100 million, with term sheets issued within one to two weeks and most approvals completed within two to three weeks.
"We are deal makers, that is our core competency," said Traci Dolphin, President of Equipment Leases Inc. "We find a way to make deals happen and make them work for the customer."
Real estate sponsors with active or upcoming developments are invited to contact Equipment Leases to evaluate whether an equipment carve-out structure fits their project.
