Where Will The Economy Take Us
With The Rise In Distressed Commercial Properties?
By Meeta Modi
The economic turmoil has forced us to wonder whether the market will
ever get any better. The market is getting flooded with
distressed commercial properties-either foreclosed or non-cash
flow properties. Yes, the sellers or owners are in great dilemma
whether to hold on to the property or to dispose it off so that
they do not have to shell money out of pocket to keep the
property from being foreclosed.
These properties can be anywhere & the owners could be
anybody-single person or even investment groups.
Citicorp North America Inc. has filed its intention to foreclose
on the Fairfield Inn by Marriott Denver Tech Center hotel in
Littleton for nonpayment of $16.2 million in debt on the
property, according to Douglas County records. The 63-room hotel
is located at 7056 E. County Line Road in Highlands Ranch.The
hotel’s owner is a group headed by Moody National FFI Denver S
LLC of Houston, according to county
property records. The three-story property was built in 1998.
Metro Atlanta’s Animal Health Sciences bought the former Yamaha
Music Manufacturing facility in Thomaston, Ga., for an
undisclosed amount. Smyrna, Ga.-based Animal Health Sciences
will expand manufacturing at the 275,000-square-foot Yamaha
property. The plant, on 75 acres, will be the new production
site for Animal Health Sciences, which makes products for
domestic pets and livestock/equine care.
Animal Health Sciences will employ more than 100 people when it
starts production later this year, and it plans to invest $9.1
million in the plant. Yamaha Music Corp. previously employed
more than 450 at the facility which was closed in 2007.
