RAWAAL Properties LLC: Strategic Acquisition and Maximizing Asset Value Through Expert Leasing

Client Profile
RAWAAL Properties LLC is a forward-thinking investment firm specializing in commercial real estate acquisitions and asset management. With a focus on identifying value-add opportunities, RAWAAL Properties aims to transform underutilized properties into high-performing assets.

Partnership with Allies Commercial Realty
In March 2023, RAWAAL Properties LLC partnered with Allies Commercial Realty to acquire a prime commercial property located at 10115 East 59th Street. Leveraging Allies’ market expertise and strong industry relationships, the partnership aimed to secure the property in a competitive bidding environment and maximize its investment potential.

Opportunity and Challenge
The property at 10115 East 59th Street presented a significant opportunity due to its C-7 zoning—the heaviest commercial zoning available in Marion County—permitting uses like truck maintenance facilities and heavy equipment storage. However, the acquisition faced several challenges:

Competitive Bidding: Multiple bidders were interested, with many willing to offer higher purchase prices.
Property Condition: The site required substantial improvements, including cleanup and site enhancements, to unlock its full potential.

Analysis
Allies Commercial Realty conducted a comprehensive market analysis and formulated a strategic acquisition plan. By emphasizing RAWAAL Properties’ readiness to close and their own reputable track record, Allies convinced the seller to accept an offer of $1.3 million, despite higher competing bids. The seller’s familiarity and confidence in Allies played a pivotal role in this decision.
