Summary Description | Legacy Capital identified the site, which was being sold through a bankruptcy bid process. Prior to the bid date, they learned a competitor (Standridge Co.) was also pursuing the property. Legacy and Standridge decided to form a venture and bid on the property at a price of $2.31 psf. The land had not been marketable due to construction of the 121-Tollway directly in front of the property, and by the time the road was finished, the owner had gone into bankruptcy. The bankruptcy case took time to process, creating pent-up demand for land on the newly-completed tollway. Once the market became aware that the land was available and the owner was a professional real estate investor, users stepped up quickly to purchase the tracts they needed. |

Summary Description | Legacy purchased this site in 2004. The property had ideal spacing from existing retail (approximately 6 miles south of the site), control of all developable corners, and strong interest from Wal-Mart. Legacy worked with the City of Fort Worth to bring sewer and water to the site. Legacy also actively worked with TXDOT to help fund and re-design the off-ramp which positioned the site for retail development. Wal-Mart’s imminent purchase and availability of utilities spurred interest from a developer that purchased 166 acres in August 2007. Wal-Mart closed on its 23-acre parcel two months later. |
