Investor Purchases Lumber Liquidators HQ’s Bldg. for $15.9 Million

4/6/21

JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $15.9 million sale of the 52,876-square-foot Lumber Liquidators Headquarters Building in Richmond, Virginia.

JLL represented the seller, Gumenick Properties, and procured the buyer, Waverton Associates.

In 2019, after several years of substantial growth, Lumber Liquidators relocated its international headquarters to the current site at 4901 Bakers Mill Ln., about two miles from downtown Richmond. The building was customized for Lumber Liquidators and offers an open floor plan with collaborative working environment for 200-plus employees. The property benefits from its location in Libbie Mill-Midtown, an 80-acre mixed-use development with top-notch amenities. The mixed-use development features residential, office and high-end retail space alongside acclaimed restaurants and community/public space.

JLL’s Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Director Jordan Lex, Executive Managing Director Charlie Polk, Managing Director Bill Moylan and Director Daniel Naughton.

“Lumber Liquidators HQ building offered investors an attractive yield from a high-quality tenant in Richmond’s premier mixed-use development,” Lex noted.
