SOLD 1Q23 (Seller Representation): Industrial (re)Development @ 200 North 13th Street, Erwin (Harnett County)  

Turn of the century -1980’s mixed use campus of approx. 1,075,000 SF on 56 acres.  In 2016, DCR received this listing after the site sat on the market for numerous years under another professional CRE firm.  In 2017, Sean Dowell did a call for offers which resulted in 5+ unacceptable offers. The Erwin mill property had a non-performing test well and generated only cash buyers.  The market had spoken.  To overcome this issue, ownership embarked on a five year effort for brownsfields with a cost of approx. $4 million dollar.  In the meanwhile, the property carried itself with income from 30+ tenants in its leasable 468K SF.   This is while 56% and 606K SF of this campus sat vacant due to mixed condition issues.  Being proactive in aligning a future redevelopment, DCR both a) leased up this property to full capacity, improving tenant quality where possible, and b) entitled it with the State Historic Preservation Office by getting this property on the NC Study List.  In 3Q22, DCR performed a second call for offers highlight a pending 4Q22 brownsfield approval and an excessive amount of property details in an extensive due diligence package.  With relevant question answered, this generated numerous acceptable buyer parties and offers.  On February 1, 2023, this property sold for $9,500,000.
