The three-story, brick building, within walking distance of the compact, industrially planned downtown, is home to several legal, high-tech and financial companies in addition to Cafe Azteca, an authentic Mexican restaurant, on the ground floor.

"The sale is in keeping with our strategy of adding value to properties through aggressive management and marketing, and repositioning them for sale to realize the maximum return to our investors," said Matthew Abrams, president. "In this case, we performed a cosmetic rehab of the building and were able to reduce expenses while increasing revenue through our professional, well-tested management program."
