84 Lumber Sells WestBridge Business Park Facility

naiknoxville — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:50:09 +0000

84 Lumber, who ceased operations last year in their WestBridge Business Park facility, has divided the 15.7 acre tract and sold the real estate to 2 parties.

An affiliate of Visionary Solutions, LLC called LSA Property Management, LLC, has acquired the 9.2 acres that housed the former truss plant facility, at 2553 Quality Lane. The remaining 6.5 acres, at 2545 Quality Lane, developed with retail building and millwork plant has been acquired by the principals of Lokar, Inc., a manufacturer of custom and specialty car components.

Visionary Solutions LLC is a DOE-MCEP approved motor carrier and logistics company providing transportation to government and commercial organizations with a focus on material disposition. They will relocate their offices from Union Valley Road, in Oak Ridge. Cavanaugh Mims, CEO of Visionary Solutions, says “Parking the trucks at our current office facility has become tenuous. The move gives considerably more parking for our trucks, room to grow our operations and a more secure fenced and lighted facility. Even though most of our operations are not in Tennessee, we feel a long term commitment to our loyal employees and want to remain in this area.”

Lokar manufactures quality performance products for street rods, hot rods, trucks, muscle cars, kit cars, off-road vehicles and drag race cars including shifters, cable systems, throttle pedals and e-brake systems. They plan to relocate from their current facility at 10924 Murdock Drive. Skip Walls, co-owner of Lokar, with his wife, Debbie Walls, says “We have outgrown our current facility and have been eager to find a larger facility with room to grow. This acquisition will help assure the future operations of Lokar will not be limited by our real estate. We love Knoxville and are excited about our new location.”

Sam Tate, CCIM, Broker, NAI Knoxville, who represented Visionary Solutions, LLC said “We were fortunate to match the needs of 2 different parties for the simultaneous acquisition of the entire site. The parties are very compatible.” John Melton, Broker, Realty Executives, represented Lokar. Visionary Solutions, LLC has a local employment of 28 and Lokar has 46 employees. Todd Napier, Executive Vice President for The Development Corporation of Knox County, said “We are delighted that a very fine industrial property is being put back in service, in a way that benefits the community in terms of jobs and investment. This is a fulfillment of the original purpose of developing business parks by The Development Corporation.”

Nashville Firm Buys Second Harvest Facility in Knoxville

naiknoxville — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:13:24 +0000

The former warehouse and distribution center for Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee on Delaware Avenue in Knoxville has been sold to Onsite Environmental, an environmental engineering firm based in Nashville, Tennessee.

The sale was the result of Second Harvest’s purchase of a new and significantly larger facility in Alcoa, Tennessee. NAI Knoxville represented Second Harvest in the purchase of the new facility and the sale of the building and land in Knoxville. Onsite Environmental was represented by Memphis Commercial and Industrial Real Estate.

“NAI has been a valued and expert partner in these transactions,” said Elaine Streno, Executive Director of Second Harvest. “They worked diligently to find a suitable facility that allows us to meet the growing demand for food by people at risk of hunger in the 18 counties of East Tennessee we serve, and they have done a great job as our listing agent for the successful sale of the Delaware Avenue facility,” she added. “Second Harvest is thrilled and proud that NAI Knoxville was able to sell our Knoxville Distribution Center where we resided for 18 years. Thanks to this community’s support, we went from providing 2 million pounds of food in 1993 to 17 million pounds of food in 2011, providing meals throughout our 18-county service area. That kind of growth demanded we relocate, and we are grateful for everyone’s support as we start a new chapter for Second Harvest of leading the fight against hunger from our new facility in Blount County.”
