It is located near West Acres shopping center, adjacent to Interstate 29 and 17th Avenue <br />S. The building has a full basement, with roughly half of the square footage taken by a parking garage. The finish of the building is dated. <br />The parcel has a large, heavily paved parking lot. The subject sold in the summer of 2022 after a lengthy listing period. The seller was a non- <br />profit organization. The buyer and seller may not have been equally motivated. Regardless, the sale appears to be arms-length in the sense <br />that both parties were acting independently and in their own self-interest. <br /> <br />City of Fargo and Cass County staff viewed the building with the owner. City of Fargo staff examined the value with the cost approach, sales <br />comparison approach, and income approach. The indicated value range was between $3,976,000 (sales comparison approach) and <br />$4,465,000 (cost approach). We summarize the sales comparison approach below. <br /> <br /> <br />Comparable Sales Summary <br />Address Size Size (Gross) Year Built Sale Date Sale Price <br />(with SPUN) <br />Sale Price <br />(Adjusted) Price $/SF Price $/SF <br />Gross <br />3001 University Dr S 33,170 50,137 1984 01/2020 4,762,100 4,494,123 135.49 89.64 <br />1801 38 St S 13,284 13,284 1972 10/2022 2,501,600 2,000,452 168.76 168.76 <br />3241 University Dr S 11,256 11,256 1977 05/2021 1,466,200 1,224,843 108.82 108.82 <br />1411 32 St S 24,569 24,569 1991 12/2021 2,896,000 2,370,277 102.87 102.87 <br />Subject 1974 3,976,000 128.98 128.98 <br /> <br />Competing Properties (Assessed Values) Summary <br />We studied current assessments of similar properties for equalization.
