RINGGOLD, GA. — Marcus & Millichap’s Taylor McMinn Retail Group has brokered the sale of a newly built McDonald’s restaurant located in Ringgold, a Georgia suburb of Chattanooga, Tenn. The restaurant was delivered earlier this year and features a 20-year lease with 7.5 percent rent increases in the initial term and extension options. Don McMinn and Andrew Koriwchak of the Taylor McMinn Retail Group brokered the transaction. An all-cash buyer purchased the restaurant from the seller, a repeat developer of McDonald’s, in a 1031 exchange. The sales price was not disclosed. “Lower-priced, well-located properties with strong credit continue to command aggressive pricing despite market challenges,” says McMinn. “We secured an offer within 48 hours and closed near list price — proof that price point matters as much as credit in today’s market.”

By Taylor Williams New development within the Houston industrial market is increasingly skewing toward data centers and advanced manufacturing projects, creating new hurdles for architectural, engineering and contracting (AEC) teams to overcome in terms of labor and timing. At the annual InterFace Houston Industrial conference that took place in late August at The Briar Club and was attended by more than 200 industry professionals, Jason Cooper, president at Houston-based general contractor Arch-Con Corp., immediately cited both of these issues when asked about the biggest challenges the industry faces today. Braylie Manson, business development associate in the Houston office of Texas-based engineering firm Dunaway, moderated the conference’s design and construction panel. “The most difficult thing of the past year, excluding the past month or so, has been getting highly qualified subcontractors on board that can keep the schedules that are expected,” said Cooper. “Schedules keep accelerating; we have to turn these projects over faster and faster, so [as general contractors], we have to be very selective about which subcontractors we use to avoid delays.” Editor’s note: InterFace Conference Group, a division of France Media Inc., produces networking and educational conferences for commercial real estate executives.
