Hudson Walgreen’s
Hudson, Florida
Delivered: March 2005 | Total Cost: $4.618MM
• Plan: acquire operating Mobil gasoline service station, adjacent warehouse, and adjacent residential house that were not on the market to perform a 15,000 square foot build-to-suit for Walgreen’s.
• Potential Deal Breakers: operating Mobil reluctant to sell, former gasoline service station contained inherent contamination stigma; despite the acquisition of three properties, the site was still too small to accommodate Walgreen’s ideally-sized store.
Result: convinced Walgreen’s to commit to enough rent to support the cessation of Mobil operations, contamination not as bad as assumed and indemnity obtained from Mobil; acquired an additional 12,000 square feet from adjacent property owner Burger King by performing site improvements for Burger King
Tampa Walgreen’s
Tampa, Florida
Delivered: May 2005 | Total Cost: $5.9MM
• Plan: acquire decrepit Exxon gasoline service station,
stand alone dry cleaners building and two adjacent houses that were not on the market, rezone to planned unit development, and perform a 15,000 square foot build-to-suit for Walgreen’s.
• Potential Deal Breakers: former gasoline service station contained inherent contamination stigma; dry cleaner owner unwilling to move; neighbors against planned development and therefore unwilling to support rezoning; store size so large that little on-site retention could be provided.
Result: contamination not as bad as assumed, indemnity obtained from Exxon and site designed around three monitoring wells; con-vinced dry cleaners owner and Walgreen’s to allow the construction of a 1,200 square foot attachment to Walgreen’s prototypical store for dry cleaners leaseback; negotiated neighbor support for planned development in exchange for our pursuit of a street vacation with County; street vacation, however, was ultimately denied; neighbors finally acquiesced due to the attempt; designed and budgeted nearly 1.5 acres of underground retention.
