Distress-ing Deals

In search of the rare woolly distress deal, we actually found four. A CBRE team of Dallas and Houston brokers repped special servicer Midland Loan Services in selling a portfolio that was foreclosed in January. Our Houston reporter met with Todd Casper and Russell Ingrum, who found a buyer for Houston's 101k SF 6300 West Loop South. Locally, CBRE's Eric Mackey, Jonathan Napper, and Gary Carr  marketed the 237k SF Liberty Bank Building and 85k SF Bank of Texas Building (both in Hurst) and 177k SF Meadow Park Central IV & V. Jonathan tells us a local mid-cities buyer bought the two assets in Hurst, and Meadow Park Central sold to a private capital group out of California.
