Garland, Texas

Dirkin Properties is proud to announce its purchase of 2750 Oakland Avenue, Garland Texas.  It is an approximately 75,000 sq. ft. warehouse facility with 6,674 sq. ft. of office space.  The previous user was Riddle Enterprises, a manufacturer of metal shelving, primarily for Petsmart.  Before that, the facility was used to manufacture generic soft drinks by Garland Beverage Company.

Although there are significant repairs that are needed to the electrical system, this is a significant value-added property.  Purchase price was far below appraised value.  Current plans are to repair the property and get it back on the market for lease or sale.

Cavalier Drive
Garland, Texas

DIRkin Properties is proud to announce its purchase of 3826-3832 Cavalier Drive, Garland, Texas.  It is an approximately 19,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant warehouse facility with about 30% of office space.  The previous owner was ANA Capital Partners.  This is a 4-plex facility, 75% currently occupied with two (2) tenants.  The property was not on the open market before the sale, and was discovered by DIRkin Property through personal contacts with the ownership group.  

A majority of the facility is 14 foot clear height, has 5 drive-in doors, and 4 separate entrances.  There is an abundance of parking for a facility of this type at 2.5:1000.  All parking is concrete paved and in good condition.  The building has a rear yard although currently not fenced.

The purchase price was far below some brokers opinion-of-values and is considered a value-added property.  Current leases are either month-to-month or short term.  Rents will need to be raised by $1.00 - $1.50/SF to bring them up to current market values.  Current plans are to repair and improve the property and fill it with leases at market rate.  These improvements include exterior and interior paint, fence the rear yard, re-stripe the parking lot, landscaping, etc.

Lake Cypress Springs
Scroggins, Texas

DIRkin Properties is has purchased a second value-added property on Lake Cypress Springs at 315 S. Park Road, Scroggins, TX.  The property is a ½ acre lot located on the main lake with sandy shores and a retaining wall.  It is an approximately 1,264 sq. ft. house with 1 bedroom and 1 bath, built in 2003.  The previous owners built the building, but then fell into a financial crisis and had to sell it below market value. The property was on the open market for about a year.  

The house is a modified two-floor, A-frame, with a spacious kitchen with glass top range, stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, and double oven.  There is custom tile  and open beam ceiling throughout the lower level.  Upstairs has unique cedar work and built-in cabinets throughout.  House is wired for stereo and video inside and out.  Outside includes St. Augustine sod, tree lighting, landscaping, and a very large stone fir pit.  Most important is the "Million Dollar View" off the living areas and front porch.  

Current plans are to change the layout of the upstairs and add a bath, thereby making the house a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house.  After that is finished, a two-story, one stall boat house with an upstairs recreation room and a first floor sun deck will be added.  Attached will be a floating two-stall jet ski dock.  Our research of other properties on this lake shows these changes will drastically improve the value of the property for resale.

 




Sandy Lake - Turtle Bay Marina
Scroggins, Texas

DIRkin Properties is has purchased a rare commercial property on Lake Cypress Springs at 150 South Park Road, Scroggins, TX.  The property is known locally as the former Turtle Bay Marina - a former jet ski repair and service center.  The 1.9 acre property contains about 360 feet of shoreline in Turtle Bay Cove. The previous owner built the building, but closed up shop in 2002 and moved up to Minnesota for personal reasons.  The building has been vacant and up for sale. for a majority of the time since then.  

The main building is a 4,000 sq. ft. clear-span, metal building with an additional 2,400 SF covered drive-thru work area attached.  It has a full restroom and office downstairs and two bedrooms in an upstairs mezzanine area.  There is a open kitchen design, compressed air lines, plenty of electrical outlets spread throughout.  At lake side, there is a large, 2 stall boathouse with a sling lift and a platform lift (good for jet skis).  There is a retaining wall and gas tank/pump next to the boathouse.  The above-ground gas tank is 1000 gallons and fully operational.  

Since the improvements are contained on 0.7 acres, this leaves 1.2 acres of raw land left to develop adjacent to this building.  In addition, three interior lots came with this purchase totaling 2.4 additional acres.  

Value was added immediately to this property by joining the two adjacent lots together to form the 1.9 acre parcel.  Current plans perform much of the deferred maintenance on this building and grounds, fence the lots together, and market the property to jet ski shops in the surrounding areas.
