Atlanta, GA – Matthews Real Estate Investment Services™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of Truck Service Depot, a single tenant industrial property located at 4785 Fulton Industrial Blvd SW, Atlanta, GA. Built in 2018, Truck Service Depot serves as a mechanical shop and repair service. The transaction closed $750,000 over the list price at $7,000,000. Associate Vice President Harrison Auerbach and First Vice President and Senior Director Alexander Harrold handled the transaction.

 

Matthews™ represented the seller, owner and developer of Truck Service Depot, who were interested in taking advantage of the substantially increased real estate value since its development. Agents completed a sale-leaseback allowing the client to execute a 10-year lease with the buyer, avoiding relocation or business disruption.

 

“The extraordinary value created by Matthews™ was driven in large by the lease structure handcrafted by us and our client,” Auerbach said. “By executing a long-term sale-leaseback, we extracted above-market prices while allowing our client to continue normal business operations. This is an enormous benefit to the future growth of the company and its employees.”

 

The buyer, a private equity firm, focuses on investments in growing markets with long-term leases and low coverage. The Atlanta asset fit these criteria plus offered a high-functioning 27,000 square foot building on 11.74 total acres.

 

“Using our proprietary marketing platform we sourced multiple offers, creating a competitive bidding environment, and eventually closing above the list price for our client,” Harrold said. “Overall, we structured a deal both the seller and the buyer were satisfied with.”
