Project Overview

I led the acquisition, redevelopment, and repositioning of an existing lumber retail center in Loomis, California. The project involved converting an underutilized retail property into a fully operational automotive collision repair facility, while also creating complementary income through additional site uses.

My involvement spanned the full lifecycle of the project — from acquisition and ownership structure through entitlements, design, construction, and leasing.

The Challenge

The property was formerly operated as a successful lumber retail business. Following its acquisition by a national firm, the local operation was closed, leaving the property vacant and available for sale. The opportunity was therefore not driven by obsolescence, but by a change in ownership and business strategy. The proposed conversion to automotive collision repair introduced zoning and entitlement considerations, requiring approval through a Conditional Use Permit process with the Town of Loomis.

In addition, the project required careful coordination of acquisition terms, financing, partnership structure, and tenant requirements, all while managing cost, timing, and operational constraints within an existing building.Our story
