The properties had carried price tags of $850,000 each. A 22,310-sf rink on 2.2 acres along Rutland is adjacent to the YMCA. The "Y" does not have court facilities. The buyer is a group of basketball coaches and players, Jerry Heare, industrial specialist with NAI/Commercial Industrial Properties Co. in Austin, tells GlobeSt.com. "It made sense to see if there was some synergy" that could be developed between the startup training facility and the YMCA, he says. The north Austin location's ideal and so is the interior, with its original solid maple flooring.
Heare and Casey Borgers, another NAI/CIP industrial specialist, also have closed a sale for Waco Rinks' estimated one-acre holding at 9514 Anderson Mill Rd in the city's northwest corridor. An investor from Temple, TX who bought the 19,000-sf facility intends to maintain the roller skating rink operation, says Heare.
According to Heare, the seller had owned the rinks for at least 20 years. The Anderson Mill Road rink had been built in 1985 and Rutland, about the same time. The sales cap the disposition of Waco Rinks' holdings in Austin. Heare says the business also has sold one rink in its homeport of Waco, but isn't planning to dispose of all its rinks, which are located in several cities in the state.
