All last year we had been hearing that the Anabolic building had been up for sale for $9M. Apparently the price has come down in these recessionary times.
CHATSWORTH, Calif. — [from www.avn.com]- Anabolic Video has put its building at 9222 Owensmouth Ave. on the market for $8.2 million — but the company isn’t going out of business, says owner/founder Chris Alexander.
“That’s a vicious rumor, started by who knows who,” Alexander told
AVN. “Anabolic has an incredible building that we built a couple of
years ago, and it’s currently listed with a broker. It would make a
great production studio or corporate office. One or two people
recently mentioned to different people on my staff that they heard
Anabolic was for sale, or out of business. I think there’s been some
confusion; when I tell people that we have a building for sale, they
believe the company’s for sale.”
Of course, everything is for sale at the right price.
“If anybody wants to make me an offer, I’ll be happy to hear it — but
as near and dear to my heart as Anabolic is, it would have to be a
very generous offer,” Alexander said. “But the reality is, the
building’s for sale. We’ve slashed the price — we originally had it
listed for $11 million — because we all know how real estate’s doing
these days, but I think the market will turn; we may not be quite at
the bottom, but we’re darn close, so now’s a good time to buy the
property.”
Alexander is willing to talk lease-back with buyers so that Anabolic
can remain at the Chatsworth location. If not, the company will move
somewhere else in the Valley.
“We all love the Valley; it’s a lot more economical than Venice, where
we got our humble beginnings,” Alexander laughed.
