As Eaze winds down operations, the future of its subsidiaries like Green Dragon remains up in the air.
A warehouse used by cannabis operator Green Dragon has sold for $11.4 million, as its parent company prepares to shut down operations amid wider turmoil and legal disputes.
Texas-based investor Donald A. Ball, operating as Kovak & Co., acquired the 91,981-square-foot Denver facility for about $124 per square foot, public records show. Ball told the Denver Business Journal he self-financed the deal after multiple commercial lenders declined.
āI think this one will be worth a few more million if (cannabis) gets legalized federally,ā Ball said.
The Denver warehouse, built in 1970 and renovated in 2014, supplies 17 Colorado Green Dragon retail stores. Green Dragon holds a 10-year lease on the property through January 2031, according to the outlet.
The sale comes as Stachs LLC, which had owned both Green Dragon and California-based cannabis delivery platform Eaze, announced it will cease operations by yearās end. CEO Cory Azzalino cited āongoing challenges of the California cannabis marketā in a LinkedIn post last week.
An update on the future of the companyās assets is expected by mid-November, he wrote. The letter did not specifically mention the fate of Green Dragon.
Azzalino recently told Green Market Report in an email before the closure announcement, āThe new ownership group is evaluating the status of each stateās operations and expects to make a decision prior to year end about what will continue to operate or be closed down.ā
At a foreclosure auction in August, billionaire investor James Henry Clarkās FoundersJT acquired the Eaze assets for $54 million, after Clark had loaned the company $36.9 million in 2022 and foreclosed on the company in spring 2024. Clark and businessman Thomas Jermoluk reportedly owned 35% of Eaze through a shell company and were instrumental in the Green Dragon merger, according to a lawsuit filed by Green Dragonās former owners, the Levine family.
In that merger, Eaze acquired Green Dragon, with Green Dragonās founders ā Lisa Leder, Andrew Levine and Alexander Levine ā receiving a 30% ownership stake in Eaze and two board seats. However, the arrangement led to legal barbs, with the Green Dragon founders later suing Eaze for alleged fraud and misrepresentation of its finances.
That suit claimed Eaze was āon the brink of not being able to make its payroll before the Green Dragon acquisition closed.ā
Azzalino denied those allegations at the time, insisting the company was in a āhealthy financial positionā and expected to be cash flow positive by the end of 2023 end. Now, heās recently told the San Francisco Chronicle that Eaze āwould be reopening under a new corporate structure potentially with new management, if itās determined the new ownership group wants to keep it open.ā
Ballās purchase marks Kovak & Co.ās first Colorado acquisition and its westernmost to date, according to the journal. The property was previously owned by an LLC linked to Florida-based Best Properties, which bought it in 2017 for $11.5 million.
