The Challenge

  • In January 2020, Bradford was awarded the leasing/disposition assignment of 701 E. Interstate 20, a vacant 26,552 square-foot office building, situated on 4.85 acres, with exceptional freeway frontage.
  • Lakeland West Capital acquired the vacant asset in March 2018 and engaged a competing brokerage firm to market the property.
  • Prior to Bradford taking over the assignment, 701 E. Interstate 20 sat vacant, marketing activity had become stagnant, and the property had accumulated a lengthy list of deferred maintenance items.

The Solution

  • Realizing the re-development potential of the property, Bradford implemented a marketing campaign that highlighted the flexible zoning and potential for uses other than office to capitalize on the accessibility and prominent frontage along IH-20.
  • Using extensive market knowledge and confirmed sales comparable, Bradford was successful in obtaining a price adjustment for the asset, positioning it to be more in line with the overall market, resulting in an uptick of activity from qualified buyers.
  • Understanding the potential concerns from prospective buyers related to condition of the asset and potential costs of deferred maintenance, Bradford successfully lobbied ownership to complete a detailed property condition assessment and Phase I ESA, which could be provided to qualified prospective purchasers prior to entering into a purchase agreement.

The Results

  • Within 180 days of taking over the assignment, Bradford had received multiple qualified offers to purchase the property.
  • In October 2020, Bradford negotiated a purchase agreement between Lakeland West Capital and an entity for Frank Kent Motor Company, resulting in a successful sale 40 days after full execution of the PSA.
  • The terms of the final purchase contract reflected a sale price which was 92% of the adjusted asking price.
  • Frank Kent Motor Company demolished the existing building shortly after closing and will construct a new auto dealership on the 4.85 acre site.
