Morgan Property Group announced the sale of a future McDonald’s development at the intersection of East Market Street and Country Club Road in the City of Harrisonburg. This will be McDonald’s fifth location in the city.
MPG, through its affiliate Market Street Realty LLC, acquired 1.279 acres at this intersection in August 2012 for a price of $1,176,000. The property was leased to and occupied by First Bank & Trust at the time. Following the acquisition, MPG negotiated a termination of the First Bank & Trust lease and secured a new 20 year ground lease with McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD).
“This was an opportunistic acquisition for our company in 2012, and we could not be more pleased with the outcome,” said MPG’s President, Trey Morgan. “We think this will be a signature location for McDonalds in the Harrisonburg market and compliment their existing stores in the trade area.”
MPG sold the project to The Christopher Trust for a sales price of $2,000,000 on March 17, 2014. The Bolder Group represented the Buyer and Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Partners, Inc., represented Market Street Realty, LLC. McDonalds is expected to open in the second quarter of 2014.
