Sealed Bid Deadline Set For June 16 For Parcels In San Antonio,
TX and Martinsburg, WV
A sealed bid auction for two ground leased airport properties,
formerly operated by business jet manufacturer Emivest Aerospace
Corp., which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October
2010, was announced Wednesday by Hilco Real Estate and Counsel RB.
A bid deadline of June 16, 2011 has been set for both properties.
Prospective buyers may submit bids on one or both of the
assets.
“The location, remaining lease term, and extension options
on these assets makes them desirable for any company operating in
the aerospace and/or defense field,” said Roberto Perez,
Senior Vice President of Hilco Real Estate. He added, “These
are best of breed hangar, manufacturing warehouse, and office
properties. Each property can provide a company with a turn-key
solution for its space and operational requirements.”
Geoffrey S. Schnipper, Sr. Project Manager for Hilco Real
Estate, added, “This is a rare opportunity to assume the
remaining term and options of the ground leases. The annual rent
obligation associated with these leases is well below market and
cannot be replicated in today’s marketplace. Only in a
bankruptcy setting are these leases transferrable.”
