Stratoflex was part of Ken Davis Industries. Ken Davis Sr.'s son Cullen Davis was a part owner of the company.

Love that they're preserving industrial use here; if anything I wish they'd find a way to expand. More jobs = better!

 

Also wish that they'd sell off the small rectangle facing White Settlement next to Salsa Limon, though. It looks like they only plan to use that for parking and a driveway, which seems redundant given their huge Roberts Cut Off frontage which should support infinite driveways if they want them. Let White Settlement be a pure commercial / residential corridor and put all the industrial use frontage on Roberts Cut Off.

almost $1200/sqft for a prefab metal building with a gym inside? surely that's not an accurate price?

So they are currently at the location across the street and have been there about a year.  Looks like they want to build their own building.

On rare occasions, I have listed total cost of a project, including FF&E in submitting for TDLR.  FF&E is furniture, fixtures, and equipment.  In my opinion, these three items are generally not provided by the general contractor, unless they are built into the building.

The Toll Brother's "Settler" project seems to have a new name, The Sadie: https://www.tollbrot...olio/the-sadie/

Surprised that is allowed in that area, but the zoning over there is a total hodgepodge.

Unfortunately around these parts, other than many of us here on the forum, they rarely take into consideration the term "highest and best use".

Not really a bad price. The big cost is disposing of the contaminated soil, there is always some, and of course the tanks and anything in them. The disposal fees are crazy expensive as not many places you can dispose of it. Last I did one of these, about 2010, the closest place we could dispose of it all, and there was a ton of soil as the tanks had been leaking for years, was all the way to Georgia as no where else at the time was taking anything environmental. 

 

One issue with these old filling stations are the underground tank remediation requirements.  I talked to an owner of a similar business and he said if he paid to have the tanks removed it could cost him as much as $200-300K which sounds really high to me but that's what he said.  Perhaps that included redoing all the concrete etc.  It actually became an issue when he tried to sell the business to someone looking to convert it to a taco shop where he had a filling station / mechanic shop but had since decommissioned the use of the tanks but they were still in-ground.
