Right Space Commercial identified an opportunity in the Tuscaloosa, AL market by transforming an outdated bowling alley into a modern warehouse and showroom. The property, Leland Lanes, had been on the market for 2.5 years without interest. By leveraging our in-house construction team, we converted the space into a highly desirable commercial property, ultimately securing a buyer, Plumber’s Wholesale Supply.
Project Overview
- Client: Leland Lanes (Seller) → Right Space Commercial (Owner) → Plumber’s Wholesale (Buyer)
- Location: 1125 26th Ave E, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404
- Property Type & Price: Warehouse & Showroom | Final Sale Price: $1,600,000
- Project Duration: 15 months
- Broker: Richard Henry
- Special Features: Bowling Alley to Plumbing Supply Conversion
- Negotiation Highlights: Structured a trade-in deal, acquiring the buyer’s existing warehouse while allowing them to lease it until their new space was completed
Challenges & Solutions
Challenges:
- Seller’s Struggle – The bowling alley had been on the market for over two years without a buyer.
- Complex Conversion – Most potential buyers lacked the vision or resources to repurpose the space.
- Buyer’s Dilemma – Plumber’s Wholesale needed to sell their existing building but also needed to occupy it until their new space was ready.
Our Solution:
- Property Repositioning – We removed all bowling equipment, ceiling panels, and fixtures to reveal a vast open warehouse with steel trusses and a clear-span interior.
- In-House Renovation – Our construction team completed the transformation quickly and cost-effectively.
- Tailored Deal Structure – We took the buyer’s existing warehouse in trade and leased it back to them until their new space was move-in ready.
The Result
Plumber’s Wholesale successfully transitioned into a larger, more functional showroom and warehouse while seamlessly offloading their previous building. Thanks to our flexibility and vision, both the buyer and seller benefited from a win-win transaction.
