Former Borders Book Store Sells


Oklahoma City, OklahomaSeptember 2012

On September 7th the sale of the former Borders Book Store on Northwest Expressway in Oklahoma City was finalized, the sales price was $3,225,000 and the Buyer was Accident Care & Treatment Centers, Inc. This transaction marks the sale of the last former Borders Book Store in the metro, and has helped remove an extra 24,588 square feet of vacant space from the retail market. 

After the closure of the Borders Book chain, this property went through a lengthy foreclosure process and finally hit the market in the spring of this year. While marketing the property David Hartnack and Sam Swanson with NAI Sullivan Group received an enormous amount of attention from new retailers looking to use this site as a foothold to entering the Oklahoma City Market. “We had several competing offers at full asking price” stated Mr. Swanson. After reviewing all the offers submitted by NAI Sullivan Group, the Seller selected a medical office user to be the most qualified to close. The new owner’s plans on opening a clinic, as well as an imaging center at this location, and is hoping to open early 2013.
