Reportedly, one of the efficiencies had been converted to an
office prior to the sale. Also, although the unit breakdown as provided
by multiple sources indicated a net rentable area (including the
converted efficiency) of 64,690 square feet, the gross building area
reported by the County Assessor was 60,758 square feet. It must also be
noted that an appraiser reported a net rentable area of 62,507 square
feet. Therefore, the exact gross building area is not known. That
reported above, 65,690 square feet, is the best estimate as of this
writing and is based upon the net rentable area of the 71 units
available for rental plus 620 square feet for the former efficiency
used as an office and another 1,000 square feet estimated to be the
minimum required to provide a laundry and pool equipment room.
In the 2005 sale, PHA, LLC transferred by the same deed a 10%
undivided interest in the property to GF 3 Properties, LLC, an Oklahoma
Limited Liability Company and an undivided 90% interest in the property
to Seven W and Alice Casebeer, husband and wife, as joint tenants with
right of survivorship.
According to a 2006 listing of the property, the Plymouth House
is a two and three story rock and frame construction property with
pitched roofs, located in the Penn Square area with a total gross
building area of 65,310 while the Oklahoma County Assessor indicated a
gross building area of only 60,758 square feet. Unit types range from
studios to large townhouses. The property has a fenced swimming pool
located in an interior courtyard, an on-site laundry facility and
balconies or patios.
