Touting the patience of buyer and seller, Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services has finalized the sale of an office building in northeast Dallas after a three-year wait.
An unforeseen property issue at 1014 Main St. in Garland was discovered during the initial due diligence period, stalling the sale of one of the largest tracts in the historic downtown to hit the market in recent years. The high-profile office project, totaling 5,130 sf, is situated on a half-acre lot with 28 parking spaces, a bonus for an infill site.
“Neither side expected it to take this long. I’m just glad it’s closed,” says Kyle Espie, market director of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services. He and Brian Pafford, executive vice president and managing partner, represented the seller, Exchange Resource Group LLC.
Involved for Life Inc.’s willingness to wait was the project’s prominent location and lot size in a bustling downtown with parking constraints, according to Espie. Bob Charles of Texas Premier Realty LLC represented the buyer, who financed the acquisition through Veritex Bank.
“The asset sold for really close to the original price despite the delay,” Espie says. “We actually had several back-up offers because of this property’s location.”
The class B office building, with a Walk Score of 72, is situated between 10th and 11th streets with retail, restaurants and a transit stop within walking distance. Built in 1985, the structure was fully renovated in 2021.
Involved for Life, a Dallas-based women’s healthcare ministry, is planning to occupy the building in May, which will serve as a regional office. The interior features a spacious lobby, six private offices, conference room, break space, restrooms and storage area.
