Noah Loveland of ELIFIN® represented the buyer in the successful acquisition of the ±11,404 SF industrial property located at 12137 Airline Hwy in Baton Rouge, LA.

Challenge

Casual Creations, a Baton Rouge business with 32 years on Perkins, was ready for its next chapter and needed a property to match. The requirements were specific: a large showroom, 6,000 to 8,000 SF of warehouse space, and a prime location. Nothing on the market for sale met those needs, so finding the right building meant looking beyond what was available.

Strategy

Noah identified this building when it was listed for lease and recognized it was the right fit for Casual Creations. Rather than treating it as a leasing opportunity, he approached the owner’s agent to ask whether the owner would consider selling. That conversation led to a negotiated purchase that worked for both sides.

Result

Casual Creations now owns a building that fits how the company operates today. The showroom and warehouse are consolidated into one property, and the additional acreage in the back gives them room to expand or build in the future. After 32 years on Perkins, Casual Creations has a new home with space to grow, and Noah made it happen by turning a lease listing into an ownership opportunity.
