NAI Robert Lynn Aids Autos of Dallas in Purchase of Old GMC Facility in Plano

DALLAS - July 19, 2016 - PRLog -- The NAI Robert Lynn Industrial Division (http://www.robertlynn.com/services/industrial) recently represented Autos of Dallas in the purchase of the 55,000-square-foot Ex-Ewing Buick GMC Dealership in Plano, which will allow the auto dealer to nearly double its inventory to 1,000 vehicles. The new dealership will make Autos of Dallas the largest independent auto dealer in Dallas, and one of the largest independent auto dealers in the country. NAI Robert Lynn Principal Chad Albert represented Autos of Dallas.

Autos of Dallas will move from its current location in Addison, previously known as the "Addison Square Garden Ice Rink" (15100 Midway Road), to their new headquarters at 4472 Plano Parkway in Plano. The new location is situated on approximately 8 acres of land in a highly visible area on Plano Parkway just east of Ohio.

"Many of our customers are in the North Dallas area, so this move helped us get closer to our customer base, create the space needed for an on-site service shop and carry more inventory to further our sales. We're thankful for Chad and NAI Robert Lynn's partnership from the very beginning and helping us find the right spaces along the way as we've grown," said Sami Aqqad, owner of Autos of Dallas.

Prior to its Addison location, Albert represented Autos of Dallas in their three previous transactions, one of which being their original location in Farmers Branch. At the time of their inception, Autos of Dallas had a 30-car inventory. Eight years later, the company will have 1,000 cars on their lot, in large part due to the steady growth model of Aqqad.

"I've been very fortunate to represent Sami and Autos of Dallas on their real estate as they've grown from a small start-up auto dealer in 2008 to now, arguably the largest dealer in the city. Sami has always exemplified a 'customer-first' mentality as well as an uncanny ability to take well-calculated risks throughout his organic growth, which have paid great dividends, and have been the main contributors to Autos of Dallas' success over the years," said Albert.

NAI Robert Lynn has represented Autos of Dallas since 2008, assisting the company in locating the right properties for its growing needs while overcoming the lack of supply of dealership availability. At the time of purchase, the dealership was not available on the market. Albert was able to find a prime location and reached an agreement within weeks.

Autos of Dallas will move its dealership to the new location by September 2016.
