RICHARDSON—The Weitzman Group has negotiated the sale of The Shire, an 83,000-square-foot mixed-use specialty retail and office project in Richardson.

Located at SH-190 (President George Bush Turnpike) and Jupiter Road, the center was acquired  by a local investment group formed by Huey Investments and Standridge Cos. The seller was restaurateur Dale Wamstad.

“We had The Shire under contract before we even finished the sales package,” Joey Keffler, one of the brokers on the transaction, told GlobeSt.com. “What's taking place next door with CityLine certainly didn't hurt, and Dale kept the property in mint condition, making it an incredibly attractive investment.” 

Eddie Liebman and Keffler with handled the deal's negotiations.

The Shire features a number of upscale and casual restaurants, as well as service and office users. Restaurants in the specialty retail space include Silver Fox Steakhouse, Ye Shire Tavern, Main Street Bistro/Bakery, Thai's Thumbz Urban Kitchen and Apollonia's Italian Kitchen. Other tenants include Bright Horizons child care and Republic Title.
