SELLS SITE, BUYS ANOTHER
The Austin Company Commercial Real Estate group announced March 19 that the Handley Church of Christ building, located at 3029 Handley Drive in East Fort Worth, has been purchased by the Stop Six Church of Christ for $1.1 million.
Company founder Jim Austin brokered the deal and longtime Austin Company team member Tim Williams was the agent in the sale of the 36,000-square-foot structure.
“This is a tremendous asset,” said Austin. “This church is over 100 years old, and we were so proud to represent Handley Church of Christ in getting this deal done.”
Upon the sale of the Handley Drive location, Handley Church of Christ purchased the Gateway School on Randol Mill Boulevard in East Fort Worth for its new church. That 7,000-square-foot building sits on three acres.
