Fiesta Corporation began negotiations to acquire a single level 6,000,000
square foot underground sand mine, Crystal
City Underground (“CCU”), in 2005. After initial investigation and conformation that the property could be
utilized for Fiesta’s proposed uses, Fiesta’s purchase was completed in the
spring of 2007.
Fiesta’s proposed use was an Olympic quality sports tournament and training facility. As a backup use Fiesta’s design included the ability to operate the facility as a High Bay warehouse facility. High Bay warehouse is actually the highest and best use. Fiesta believes that the absorption rate of their proposed Olympic facility would be much quicker, and more entertaining.
Fiesta has determined that in all probability that a smelter and port of some kind will be built on the adjacent site. Because of this situation Fiesta has made the decision to relocate the main entrance to the facility at a different location. This requires the acquisition of additional properties for parking and access, facilitating the opportunity to develop industrial warehouse as well as the Sports facility. In addition, the adjacent site is now industrial with major Rail and Barge improvements planned. Incidentally, the availability of those services, increase the value and absorption rate of Warehouse and Manufacturing space in the mine.
While all of these properties are not essential, the acquisition increases the value dramatically and provides multiple opportunities to improve functionality and desirability. Some of these properties will be acquired with joint venture partners that will provide services and management of the properties, thereby relieving Fiesta of the entire debt load and responsibility. Some of these properties will be subdivided and sold by parcel to developers, with the applicable experience and capability. Examples of this would be a hotel operator, a condo developer, and a barge and rail port operator.
