The proceeds from the facilities will be used to support inventory needs and mortgage refinancing. In addition, a revolving line of credit will provide flexible access to capital.

KeyBank acted as Sole Lender on the transactions.
Owner and operator Brad Miller grew up in Boise, ID, where he worked in the car business at his father’s dealership. In 1986, with the help of his partner Tom Nicholson, Miller purchased a Honda dealership in Seattle, WA. In 1991, Miller acquired a Toyota franchise in downtown Seattle. With an eye to the future, Miller began construction of a new six-story dealership facility in 2013 to house both franchises. In 2015, the project was completed, and the dealerships relocated to their new 400,000 square foot facility. In 2017, the property was awarded LEED Gold Status.
