This Week's Dallas-Fort Worth Deal Sheet

Shops at Stonebriar in Frisco sold to an undisclosed, local investor. The 188K SF retail property was a tough sell according to STRIVE, the brokerage in charge of offloading the property on behalf of a California-based partnership. 

“When we took the asset to market we expected many of the institutions to be in the bidding on this Class-A center, but we quickly learned Wall Street was down on retail, and not too excited about Frisco either. This was rather shocking to us,” STRIVE Managing Partner Jason Vitorino said in a release. He and Managing Partner Jennifer Pierson spearheaded the sales process.

According to STRIVE's press release, eight offers were made to buy the property, and the ultimate buyer purchased the property under the old financing despite a "challenging and arduous process with the lender." 

"Five to 10 years from now, there will be a lot of people kicking themselves because they did not purchase this asset ... this property sits on arguably some of the best land in all of Frisco," Pierson said.
