The document describes a redevelopment opportunity to convert a 37,152 square foot warehouse in downtown Amarillo, Texas into 20 residential units. The developer is seeking a $1,740,597 construction loan to complete the project. Once finished, the units are projected to generate $32,337 in monthly rental income conservatively, or up to $38,322 based on comparable properties. The project will add value to the area and benefit from city redevelopment programs.

1. DOUBLE R LOFTS
INVESTMENT OPORTUNITY
My Name is Darin Hudson. I have a property located at 705 Grant Street, in Amarillo Texas. It is a 37,152
Square foot warehouse in Downtown Amarillo. It was built in 1920 from beautiful red brick with huge thick
wooden beams and large cast iron floor and corner brackets. The road running past the property is red brick as
well. This type of construction is just not seen anymore. I have designed and integrated all of these property
features into the build out. Amarillo is working very actively on their Downtown Revitalization Program. The
City has vacated a 12,580 square foot alley as an incentive for me to move forward with this project. Amarillo is
very excited about having this property as one of their key redevelopment projects.
I am looking for an investor to inject remodel money on a short term 18 month loan in the amount of
$1,740,597. There is no current mortgage on the property as I purchased it in whole in June of 2007. I have a
permit issued from the City of Amarillo to build the units. I have also received TIRZ approval for the rebate of
90% of the advalorum property taxes for the next 20 years from the TIRZ Board. This project also qualifies the
investor, or financial institution for a new market tax credit, which gives the investor a 39% tax deduction on
the amount of the loan, which can be taken in the first year, or over seven years.
I have completed one model unit in the building to illustrate the finish work of my product. There will be a total
of 20 units when completed. The smallest unit would sell for a conservative $125 a square foot at $121,250,
and the largest unit would sell for $356,000. These numbers are based on a finished unit. (I do not intend to sell
2. these units, but keep the building as a rental property). The first and only other existing Loft sales in the
Downtown Amarillo area were last year, and they sold for $58.00 a square foot as an UNFINISHED SHELL.
The Architect involved in the 6 Eagle Center lofts built two years ago informed me that the current owners
spent between $120 and $140 per square foot in order to get them finished out. My units in contrast, are very
inexpensive to build at $53.04 a foot, FINISHED. If the units were to be sold, they would sell easily sell at a
ridiculously conservative $100 a foot based on today’s depressed market value. That price will go up as new
activity and the effects of the New Downtown revitalization program take form, and the economy and lending
markets strengthen, along with my contributions. I want to keep the property as an apartment building as well
as complete 5 more of these projects within the same 5 block area of Downtown Amarillo. At a later date I will
then create and stimulate the condo market that is just now starting to occur in Downtown Amarillo. At that
point they will sell for a much higher price than $100 per square foot, possibly $200 or more per square foot.
This is only a preliminary and conservative sales price compared to the 6 Eagle Center units that were built on
Polk Street (approximately five blocks from this location). I will be pre-leasing upon procurement of my
construction loan. Conservative rent amounts are $32,337 monthly. Existing and comparable square foot rental
prices would put the building at $38,322 monthly. Please note that I am however, using the Conservative
numbers in all my calculations.
The property is located two blocks from the convention center, one block from City Hall, as well as two blocks
from the brand new Performing Arts Building completed in 2007. This project will create approximately
$2,000,000 in value added equity, after all costs are in. This project will lease quickly, and ultimately sell
quickly when the time comes to sell, as it will be the first of its kind in Amarillo. The project will offer huge
downtown living spaces, with secured off street, on site parking, private individual courtyards, 15 foot high
wooden raftered ceilings, pitched glass 6x12 skylights, granite and maple kitchens, split level, free hanging
open second level areas, brick walls, low voltage wired lighting, stained concrete floors, as well as refinished 2”
thick flooring which currently exists in 14 of the units. The view from their large, full 13’ high, glass aluminum
storefront style windows, looks out to private landscaped courtyards with a 10 foot privacy wall around it,
which will be something that no other Downtown properties have to offer.
