Price Edwards & Company Handles Sale of Santa Fe Garage in Downtown OKC
The Santa Fe garage, located at 2 Santa Fe Plaza in downtown OKC, sold to SFPG, LLC, owned by Continental Resources, Inc. and BFTower, LLC an affiliate of BancFirst. The sales price was $22,500,000. BFTower, LLC purchased the adjacent 36-story office tower immediately west of the garage earlier in the year from the estate of James Cotter. Continental purchased its corporate headquarters, just south of the garage, at 20 North Broadway Avenue.
The acquisition allows Continental to control the parking for all its employees in a single location. BancFirst will be consolidating its employees in the newly named BancFirst Tower, while still providing plentiful parking for its tenants.
The sale required approval from the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA) as well as the City Council of Oklahoma City. Ultimately, both entities viewed the transaction as a way for downtown OKC to secure the long-term headquarters for two well established corporate citizens which employ thousands of people, and also assure a high-quality redevelopment by BancFirst of the 500,000 square foot tower which had fallen into a severe state of disrepair.
Ford Price, Managing Partner of Price Edwards & Company, represented Continental Resources and BancFirst in the transaction.
