Bed Bath & Beyond Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Will Close All Stores

by Taylor Williams

UNION, N.J. — Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY) has filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey and will close all remaining stores nationwide. At the time of the filing, the company operated 360 stores across the country under its Bed Bath & Beyond brand and 120 stores under its children-centric buybuy Baby brand. All of those locations, as well as their accompanying e-commerce platforms, will remain open temporarily as the company gradually winds down operations and conducts limited marketing campaigns for some of its assets. To facilitate this process, Bed Bath & Beyond has secured $240 million in debtor-in-possession financing from Dallas-based global investment firm Sixth Street Specialty Lending. The financing will provide liquidity for operational obligations, such as paying employee wages and benefits, maintaining customer programs and honoring commitments to critical vendors. The Union-based home goods retailer announced plans in August 2022 to shutter 150 of its “lower-producing” stores, laying off about 20 percent of its corporate staff in the process. At that time, Bed Bath & Beyond was focused on restructuring its existing debt and had received more than $500 million in new financing to bring that …

Stashing Success: The Growth of Industrial Outdoor Storage

by Taylor Williams

By Deborah Smith, co-founder and CEO, The CenterCap Group Industrial outdoor storage (IOS) may have once been an obscure abbreviation, but this subcategory of industrial real estate has now emerged as an intriguing and evolving niche product. Much like single-family rentals (SFR) and self-storage, the asset class still has some way to go before becoming fully institutionalized, but its increasing importance in last-mile distribution makes it a topic worth discussing and placing on investors’ radars. At a high level, IOS properties serve as essential storage facilities for large equipment, vehicles and materials and are often located near transportation hubs, highway corridors and ports of entry. Among other things, these facilities exist to provide secondary storage capacity for logistics operators. So What Is IOS?IOS properties are not the kinds of glamorous properties that commercial investors typically pay much attention to, as they are outdoors and not always aesthetically pleasing to look at. At a basic level, these sites are low-coverage industrial land, generally in the three- to 20-acre range. Buildings typically comprise zero to 20 percent of the site. The property type’s primary value comes from the outside storage capabilities of the excess yard. IOS facilities feature a significantly lower floor …

RALEIGH, N.C. — First Citizens Bank has entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FIDC) to acquire Silicon Valley Bank following the California-based regional lender’s collapse earlier this month. Under the terms of the deal, First Citizens Bank will purchase all loans and certain other assets and assume all customer deposits and certain other liabilities out of receivership from the FDIC.
