Brokers: Kellen Duggan, Paul Tsakiris
The building was sold to an owner / user. First Western was able to overcome challenging obstacles along the way including large amount of vacant spaces and buildings for sale on the block. First Western was originally given this assignment during the depths of the recession. With very little interest from buyers, First Western was able to create a lease to own option that allowed owner to cash flow until the property was ultimately sold.
