From 1,500 SF to 66,000+ SF in five years: how we partnered through four transactions.
Victory CRE represented On Call Moving & Storage through four transactions over five years, from a 1,500 SF lease in Edmond to a 66,000+ SF headquarters at 1701 NW 5th Street in Oklahoma City. The final purchase closed in 2025 for $2.1 million, about $32/SF.

When we started working together, Blake was running a growing moving company out of 1,500 SF on South Broadway in Edmond, paying $1,200/month. Business was good. Space was tight. Growth was bottlenecked.
Make room to grow.
We secured a 12,000 SF lease for just $4,000/month. Not just a bigger space, a launching pad. Blake finally had room to expand operations, invest in equipment, and say yes to more customers.
Build equity.
Once the business stabilized, we looked at ownership. We found 4307 N Walnut Ave and bought it for $980,000, resolving environmental issues that had killed three prior buyer attempts. Months later, an unsolicited $1,500,000 offer landed on the table.
Preserve the win.
Rather than take the gain and pay taxes, we structured a 1031 exchange. That meant moving fast without settling. The next building had to be a true step up that justified the exchange. We made multiple offers on multiple buildings before finding the right one.
Find the forever HQ.
After months of searching and negotiating, we closed on a 66,000+ SF industrial building at 1701 NW 5th Street in OKC for $2.1M, that's $32/SF. We even structured move-out terms that let Blake relocate without shutting down operations.
"I own a roll off and moving company and started working with Tom when we were outgrowing our space. Tom found me a great building off of Broadway for a great price. He got the landlord to give me free rent and upgraded the building before I even moved in. I would highly recommend Victory CRE!"
Each deal had moments where it could have fallen apart. Each required someone asking "What's best for the business owner?" not "How do I close this fast?" We don't rush deals to collect a commission. We represent owners who are growing something.Tom H. Vaught, SIOR · Victory CRE
