Investors seeking stability and consistent returns often find their objectives fulfilled through CAI Investments’ Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) offerings. By focusing on mission-critical properties and long-term leases with creditworthy tenants, CAI has demonstrated its ability to deliver consistent, compelling results for clients. This blog highlights several real-world examples of how CAI’s strategic approach has led to successful outcomes for investors.

### Manufacturing Essential Asset II, DST (MEA II)

In September 2024, CAI Investments acquired a 96,000-square-foot industrial facility in Honea Path, South Carolina, through a strategic sale-leaseback transaction with U.S. Medical Glove Company, LLC (USMG). As the only U.S.-based chemical manufacturing plant capable of producing polyisoprene—a critical component in latex-free surgical gloves—USMG’s operations align with national priorities for domestic industrial capabilities.

#### Key Highlights:

- **Tenant:** U.S. Medical Glove Company, LLC.
- **Stability:** Long-term lease with a mission-critical manufacturer.
- **Strategic Alignment:** Supports domestic production in a vital healthcare sector.

For investors, this acquisition underscores CAI’s commitment to assets that combine financial reliability with broader economic and social significance.

### Manufacturing Essential Asset I, DST (MEA I):

In March 2024, CAI transitioned its $182 million DST offering of a 1.5 million-square-foot facility into a Regulation D 506(c) offering. The facility serves as the global headquarters for the U.S. Medical Glove Company, further solidifying its role in addressing domestic demand for FDA-approved surgical and medical gloves.

#### Key Highlights:

- **Scale:** A 1.5 million-square-foot state-of-the-art facility.
- **Income Stability:** Long-term lease agreements ensure reliable cash flows for investors.
- **Flexibility:** Transition to a Regulation D offering expands investment opportunities.

 This project reflects CAI’s ability to adapt offerings to meet investor needs while maintaining a focus on high-quality assets.

### Lake Forest Global Headquarters, DST:

CAI’s Lake Forest DST showcases its expertise in acquiring and managing premier properties. This 225,000-square-foot corporate headquarters, located in Conway Park, Illinois, is leased to Pactiv, LLC, a subsidiary of Pactiv Evergreen, Inc. With a global reach and $3.5 billion in revenue, Pactiv operates over 50 manufacturing and distribution facilities.

#### Key Highlights:

- Tenant: Pactiv, LLC, a leader in foodservice packaging.
- Lease Structure: A 12-year absolute NNN lease with annual rent escalations.
- Location: Situated in a high-demand area with excellent access to infrastructure.

Investors benefit from the combination of a financially stable tenant and a prime location in a prestigious business hub.

### North Carolina Industrial Property

CAI’s 470,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Statesville, North Carolina, reflects the company’s focus on securing dependable income streams. The property, occupied by Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (NASDAQ: KEQU) since 1955, is supported by a 20-year lease with annual rent increases. Kewaunee serves major clients like Chevron, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble, providing essential products for laboratories and healthcare facilities.

#### Key Highlights:

- **Tenant Stability:** Long-standing occupancy and lease renewal reflect tenant confidence.
- **High-Quality Client Base:** Products are supplied to globally recognized brands.
- **Strategic Location:** Access to freeways and rail transportation enhances operational efficiency.

This offering demonstrates CAI’s ability to identify assets with stable income potential and strong tenant relationships.

### The Westin Tempe Hotel

Expanding beyond industrial and manufacturing, CAI developed The Westin Tempe, a 17-story hotel that has become a premier destination since its opening in 2021. With a 4-diamond AAA rating and award-winning features like the Skysill Rooftop Bar, the property reflects CAI’s ability to deliver value in diverse real estate sectors.

#### Key Highlights:

- **Market Differentiation**: Recognized for excellence in hospitality and design.
- **Performance**: The property’s success contributes to diversified income streams for investors.
- **Community Impact**: Adds to the vibrancy of the Phoenix/Tempe area.

This project underscores CAI’s versatility and ability to create value across asset classes.
