The former Twin Peaks building can be leased for $350,000 a year plus the cost of insurance and taxes.

The now-infamous Twin Peaks building at Central Texas Marketplace, the scene of a bloody shootout May 17 involving rival motorcycle gangs and law enforcement that left nine dead and led to nearly 200 arrests, has been put on the market.

Greg Blandford with Position Property Group in Dallas has confirmed he is listing the property and plans a “soft” marketing campaign to kick off efforts to find a buyer or lessee. The sales price for the 7,869-square-foot building, which also has a 1,800 square-foot patio, is $4.2 million. It can be leased for $350,000 a year plus the cost of insurance and taxes.

A website identifies Blandford as the Twin Peaks listing agent for East Texas among six zones around Texas. In the wake of the melee in Waco, the Addison-based chain said the property at Central Texas Marketplace would never again be used by Twin Peaks. It also canceled its agreement with the local franchisee to represent Twin Peaks in the Waco market.

Local real estate agents polled by the Tribune-Herald shortly after the shootout had mixed views on whether a prospect would be willing to buy the building and remodel it, or whether the building would need to be demolished to erase any stigma attached to it.
