Hi: I hope you had a good holiday weekend!
Nick McBride
The office was closed for business on both Thursday and Friday, but we still recorded 881 documents. Trust Deeds were 205 of them with a total value loaned of $65.8 million. Only four loans were over a million dollars, the largest being funded by East West Bank for $12 million. Home Federal Bank of Tennessee funded $6.4 million, FirstBank $5 million and Rocket Mortgage $1.16 million.
Property sales made up 163 of the total documents and had a value of more than $80 million. Turns out that downtown parking lots are sought-after and are a big-ticket item! Three were sold last week.
Western Avenue Realty Company sold the parking lot at 607 Main Street to Cadillac Sixteen LLC for $1.1 million.
427 Walnut Street
Vector Knoxville LLC purchased two adjoining lots at 416 Locust Street and 427 Walnut Street. The lots were owned by different companies – 407 Walnut Street was sold by Walnut Parking Investors GP for $2.09 million and the adjoining lot, 416 Locust, was sold by Daylight Partners LLC for $1.48 million.
Close to downtown in East Knoxville, a property on Boruff Street has a new owner. 1407 Boruff St LLC sold the 3.57-acre property with three buildings, which you can see from I-40 (close to Cherry Street), to Realty Income Properties 19 LLC for $2.55 million.
Amherst Road warehouses went for $12 million
In West Knoxville, two properties located on Amherst Road were included in the million-dollar property sales last week. The Cazana Family DCP General Partnership sold the industrial warehouse buildings located at 1540 Amherst Rd to BRIKIP LLC for $12 million.
The other Amherst Road property transfer was between Eagle Bend Development LLC and D.R. Horton LLC. 49 lots in the Spring Lake Farms Subdivision were purchased by D.R. Horton for $2.7 million. Construction has begun.
The rest of the year is sure to fly by for most of us – especially those who are buying new homes and moving right here during the holidays. Our three-year comparison chart below brings us up to date as of 11/25. It’s been a busy year for us!
