RICHARD’S SUCCESS STORIES

Richard and Robert Spigner co-brokered the sale of the Historic Coca-Cola Bottling Facility located at 1720 Valley Avenue, Winchester, VA. The building, consisting of 32,310 SF on 1.27 acres, was purchased by an investment group who plans to rehabilitate and revitalize the facility into professional office space. The sale required the assistance of one of Richard’s associates, a local historian.

Richard and Michael Foster successfully co-brokered the sale of the Travelodge located at Exit 313 of I-81 in Winchester, VA. The facility, which sits on 3 acres and has 148 rooms plus banquet facilities for a total of 77,664 SF, was sold to an investment partnership.

Richard facilitated the sale of 12.30 acres of M-1 commercial land at the intersection of Route 37 and I-81 in Kernstown, VA. The property was sold to an investment group for a regional FedEx Distribution Center.

One of the more complex deals that Richard brokered was the sale of the AT&T Data Switching Station located on Route 11 in Middletown, VA. The 73,000 SF facility was purchased by an investment group. This deal was co-brokered with J. Michael Foster and Jim McLaurin.
