Buyer: Sanderlin Centre Co.

Seller: Sanderlin Centre Partners

Loan Amount: $3.5 million

Loan Date: Nov. 1, 2011

Lender: SunTrust Bank

Details: An entity composed of Michael A. Lightman Sr. and family members has bought Sanderlin Centre shopping center at 5101 Sanderlin Ave. for $5.3 million.

Sanderlin Centre Co. – a partnership that includes Michael A. Lightman Sr., Mallory Lang Lightman, Rachel Lightman, James and Nancy Tashie Family Enterprise LLC and Levy Family Investments LLC – bought the site from Sanderlin Centre Partners.

The Class A center, built in 1989 and totaling more than 40,000 square feet, is on half an acre on the south side of Sanderlin between DoubleTree by Hilton Memphis hotel to the west and the Racquet Club of Memphis to the east. It’s also roughly northeast of Malco Paradiso theater; the Lightman family owns Malco.

Sanderlin Centre tenants include Fox and Hound; Napa Café, Bikram Yoga Memphis; Muddy’s Bake Shop; Mona Spa and Laser Center; and others.

A $3.5 million loan was taken out through SunTrust Bank at the time of the sale. The loan matures in 2016.

The Shelby County Assessor of Property’s 2011 appraisal is $4.7 million.

The 113-acre area that includes the Paradiso and Sanderlin Centre is a major entertainment center – but unlike Overton Square and Beale Street, it is not defined as one for purposes of zoning or planning.

Memphis City Council member Kemp Conrad in 2009 talked of creating an adaptation of an entertainment district that would be broadened to take into account the longstanding residential areas that border the commercial development.

The idea, which was discussed with business owners and residential groups, included the possibility of standard signage and other design guidelines, as well as gateways on what is now a large parking lot with multiple driveways and curb cuts. Some curb cuts are next to remnants of buildings no longer on the site.

Not much discussion has occurred since then, but last week’s purchase could signal an effort to create a more coordinated direction for the general area.
