Existing Built Property Sites

It is stated in Church Building Guidelines that 30-55 sqft of space per person is required for each person. On the high end we will need 5,500 sq ft of space with the ability to have a large area for the sanctuary. Other Church Building Guidelines state to build a church to 3 times current capacity for future growth. This results in  roughly 15,000 sqft space for 300 people. Storefronts will allow for the church to use the space as needed as opposed to being restricted by an existing use. An existing church building would also be another feasible option. Other special-use properties would require extensive retrofitting in order to create a sanctuary. Therefore, they will be left out of the analysis as options.

No properties were found for sale that would be sufficient. The only other options that would have been available were to purchase an entire strip center and then lease out the other units, or to purchase a large lot and subdivide the lot as needed http://www.loopnet.com/xNet/MainSite/Listing/Profile/Profile.aspx?LID=14064457&SRID=2543560445&StepID=101 6.4 acre lot. (As of 4/21) 

Note: When performing Feasibility Analysis on properties, depending on the systems and solutions utilized, notifications and triggers can be set where a developer analyst is notified when a lot or property comes available that fits the developers criteria.
