“The property’s superior infill location within a core market allowed The Boulder Group to achieve an aggressive cap rate for this sale” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.  Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “While single tenant properties are selling in all types of locations; core markets, like Dallas, are at the forefront of investor demand.”
