Дилер Car Town переедет на Centreville Road после сделки на 4,35 млн долларов

A new automotive dealership under the Car Town of Manassas corporate umbrella is set to arrive in the city’s Centreville Road corridor following a $4.35 million transaction. Used car seller Auto Trademark at 7591 Centreville Road closed earlier this month on a transfer to Car Town Inc., which is relocating its operations to the Centreville Road property, according to a news release from Boosalis Properties, a local real estate firm. Car Town of Manassas has been located at 9111 Antique Way in Manassas. George Boosalis, principal broker at his namesake firm, represented Auto Trademark in the transaction. He confirmed Car Town would take ownership of the property in a Thursday phone call with InsideNoVa. “This transaction demonstrates the continued strength of the Centreville Road corridor and the Prince William County commercial real estate market,” Boosalis said in the release. “Highly visible automotive sites with existing Special Use Permits have become increasingly scarce. As a result, dealerships are placing a premium on properties that allow them to relocate or expand without navigating a lengthy and uncertain approval process.” Boosalis added, “In today’s regulatory environment, obtaining approval for a new automobile dealership Special Use Permit has become extremely challenging, making existing entitled properties significantly more valuable.” Centreville Road, also known as Route 28, carries around 54,000 vehicles daily. The former Auto Trademark property spans 2.17 acres and boasts about 189 parking spaces, according to the release. “The existing Special Use Permit for automotive sales, leasing, and inventory storage made the property a rare turnkey opportunity for another dealership,” the release continued. Prior to this month’s sale, Auto Trademark owned the property for over 25 years.
