WARWICK, PA—Guardian Academy and Indoor Range is planning the largest indoor gun range in the Northeast, when it expands the 8,750-square-foot office/flex building in Warwick, PA, it acquired for an undisclosed sum.
The NAI Mertz team of Jeff Licht, SIOR, senior vice president, and Adam Lashner, vice president, negotiated the transaction for Larry Sfinas, Guardian's president.
"I have never worked with someone so excited and committed to a project like Larry," says Licht. "It was an absolute pleasure to be part of his process to bring a world class shooting range to our marketplace. I wish Larry and the Sfinas family great success in their new venture," he added.
The Guardian Academy plans to expand the building, on two acres at 1528 Campus Drive within Warwick Business Campus, into a 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art 22-lane indoor gun range and retail store. Once complete, the facility will be the largest indoor range in the northeast. Property highlights include an advanced Carey air filtration system, a 3,500-square-foot shoot house, 360-degree computer-generated simulation training, and a 50-person banquet hall ideal for corporate conventions or private parties.
Construction of the building expansion is slated to begin in August, with a grand opening slated for January 2016. It will be open to both the public and Academy members. Chris Sfinas, a NRA-certified nine year Army qualified sniper, will lead the staff at Guardian Academy, which will provide full tactical training for law enforcement and combat military, as well as personal civilian tactical training.
Warwick Business Campus is located just off of Mearns Road near the intersection of Bristol and Mearns Roads in Warwick, PA. The campus is situated between the Willow Grove and Neshaminy interchanges of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
