PROJECTS
Representing the Investor
Keystone was providing on-site management for an out of state family that owned an office building in Nashville that was leased to the State. When the 15 year lease expired, the State exercised their option to buy the building. Keystone found two office properties in Knoxville consisting of four buildings and led the family through an IRS 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange. Critical information regarding handling of the proceeds from the sale was provided by Keystone, verified, and the transaction closed allowing the owners to preserve a substantial amount of money. In addition, Keystone found the family a loan at a below market rate of interest that is increasing their return on the investment.
Representing the User
Keystone, working with another Broker, was looking for a property for a suburban water district operation that had outgrown their building. The search had been ongoing for some time before Keystone became involved. Keystone contacted AMC Theatres about their location in that area. The theatre was operating and was not on the market. AMC gave Keystone a price which was appropriate for the market in which it was located and the client presented a contract, did their due diligence, and closed on the acquisition.
Land Acquisitions
Keystone has represented multifamily developers in finding and purchasing land. In Middle Tennessee; Nashville, Gallatin and Lebanon. In East Tennessee; Knoxville and Lenoir City.
Tenant Improvement Monitoring
Keystone provides support for both owners and tenants during the tenant improvement process. The space is updated according to tenant needs in accordance with owner and code requirements by facilitating coordination with various service providers for all sides so that the property is configured to best serve both parties.
