The Opportunity

Opus Packaging Group, a corrugated and packaging manufacturer founded in 1984, was headquartered at 6995 Southbelt Drive SE in Caledonia, Michigan, and owned the real estate it operated from. Opus Packaging Group runs five manufacturing facilities and several warehouses across the Midwest.

Carbon River's Approach

Carbon River Capital acquired the real estate and leased it back to Opus Packaging under a long-term lease, a sale-leaseback. The company kept occupancy of the Southbelt Drive facility and control of its operations, and the sale freed capital for production capacity and equipment.

Current Status / Outcome

Opus Packaging Group, Inc. is the tenant. The result is a long-duration industrial asset with a regional operating business in the building.
