TL;DR: To buy the HWY 49 Storage Facility in Springdale, Arkansas, start by calling listing agent Cameron Torabi of Mason Capital Group at 479-925-3333. The 7.92-acre parcel at 3936 S 48th Street is priced at $2,500,000. Review the approved mini-storage plans, verify zoning with the city, then submit a written offer. Per the listing, the plans and development rights convey at closing.

How do I make an offer on the HWY 49 Storage Facility?

You make an offer by working through a short sequence that starts with a call to the listing agent and ends with a signed purchase contract.

The sequence below fits this listing, a commercial land parcel with an approved plan set. Your attorney should confirm every contract term.

  1. Call Cameron Torabi at 479-925-3333 to confirm the site is available and to request the financial details and the full approved plan set the listing offers.
  2. Schedule a site visit at 3936 S 48th Street, the corner parcel next to the I-49 on/off ramp at Don Tyson Parkway.
  3. Read the approved mini-storage plans and decide whether they fit your program.
  4. Confirm zoning and permitted uses with the City of Springdale planning department, because the listing does not state a zoning classification.
  5. Decide whether to ask for the 5 adjacent acres that the listing says are available for negotiation.
  6. Submit a written offer through the listing agent, then complete due diligence under the contract timeline.
  7. Close, at which point the listing says the plans and development rights convey to you.

What does the seller convey at closing?

According to the listing, the seller conveys the 7.92-acre parcel together with the approved plans and the development rights tied to them.

The listing describes the seller as having finalized approval for a mini-storage facility. That is the feature that separates this site from a plain land purchase, so it deserves the closest reading in your contract.

Ask your attorney to confirm in writing how the approvals transfer, whether any conditions or deadlines attach to them and what the seller will deliver at closing. The listing does not answer those questions, and a buyer should not assume them.

What due diligence should I do on a commercial land purchase in Springdale?

Start with zoning, because the listing does not state a classification; zoning is to be confirmed with the City of Springdale planning department.

Then work through the rest of the file in this order:

  1. Zoning and permitted uses, confirmed with the planning department rather than assumed from the approval.
  2. The approval itself: its scope, its conditions and any expiration terms.
  3. A current survey that confirms the acreage and the dual street frontage.
  4. Title, access and any easements.
  5. Utilities, drainage and flood status, none of which the listing describes.
  6. Property taxes, which the listing does not state.
  7. Your own market study, since the listing's storage-demand reasoning is general and names no source, so it is not a feasibility report.

The traffic figure of approximately 102,000 vehicles per day is given per the listing. Ask for its source and year before you lean on it.

How is a purchase like this financed, and how long does closing take?

The listing states neither financing terms nor a closing timeline, so both are items to settle with your lender and in the purchase contract.

A $2,500,000 land purchase with a separate construction phase usually involves a conversation with a lender early. Bring the approved plan set to that conversation, because the lender will want to see what you intend to build.

Ask your attorney and tax advisor about the structure of the purchase. Mason Capital Group does not give legal or tax advice.

How does the listing agent help a buyer through the process?

The listing agent coordinates the information, the site visit and the offer, and keeps the transaction moving to closing.
