Downtown Amarillo
Since the downtown office building boom of the late 1970’s – early 1980’s, no multiple tenant office buildings have been built in downtown Amarillo. Only three full city block assemblages have taken place since that time period, all with Bob Garrett or other Coldwell Banker team members representing the acquiring parties:
Full block acquisition for Happy State Bank’s downtown drive-up facility Full block acquisition for Toot ‘N Totum Food Stores, the dominant convenience store operator in the Amarillo market. One and a half city blocks assembled for development immediately east of the City of Amarillo municipal buildings. The land is currently improved with occupied warehouses serving as the placeholder for development. Public Incentive Experience
Bob Garrett and other Coldwell Banker team members have been involved in several projects involving the City of Amarillo and various entities to bring Ben E. Keith distribution warehouse and a Nationwide Insurance Company call center to Amarillo.
Suburban Amarillo
Multi-Use Development Acquisition Activities
Currently there are three major active subdivisions in southwest Amarillo, the pre-dominant growth corridor for Amarillo: The Greenways, The Colonies, and Hillside Terrace. Additionally, the Hillside Terrace developer is land banking a 645 acre site for future development. Between 1988 and 2009 Bob Garrett completed the initial assemblage for three of the four subdivisions. The Colonies acquisition involved de-annexing approximately 500 acres from the Canyon Independent School District and annexing that acreage into the Amarillo Independent School District. The average size of the three parcels acquired by Garrett on behalf of clients was 600 acres.
