The daily update for the Lehigh Valley businessman.

Derek Zerfass and Seth Lacey of Colliers International’s Allentown office facilitated the sale which helped the couple form a plot of developable land for The Park.

Working on behalf of the seller, the team closed the $3.4 million 12-acre land sale of a former storage facility of building supplies company ORE Rentals in Moyzans in December. The sale represents about half of the park’s total 24-acre redevelopment footprint.

“It is well known that there is a great need for sports complexes like The Park in the Lehigh Valley and yet traditionally this has proven difficult to achieve,” said Zerfass, senior vice president of the Allentown retail team of Colliers, in the release. “The Moyzans have taken several underdeveloped and underutilized lands and assembled them into what will be a truly welcome and productive community use.”

“Despite the economic downturn, location remains the fundamental driver of real estate transactions,” added Lacey, an associate of Collier’s Allentown retail team. “The Easton/Lower Nazareth market is experiencing strong growth and the site benefits from excellent visibility on the Route 33 trade corridor and easy access throughout the region. »

With the land purchase completed and township approvals in place, a planned opening of the park is scheduled for the fall for outdoor sports, with indoor winter training scheduled to begin next winter.

“We were able to accomplish all of these milestones because of COVID, with lots of justifications along the way telling us we made the right decision,” Theresa said.
