84 Lumber Sells WestBridge Business Park Facility
Mar 30th
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.

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.”
