According to CB Richard Ellis/The Boulos Company, Atlantic National Holdings has purchased the building located at 25 Preble St. formerly known as the Portland Public Market for approximately $1.9 million. The 32,000 s/f building was constructed in 1998 and was purchased in 1996 by Canal Congress, LLC (a division of Guggenheim Real Estate) as part of a seven-building portfolio. Â
The seller hired Gregory Boulos of CBRE/Boulos to locate a buyer for the property shortly after they purchased the portfolio. According to Boulos "We had a tremendous amount of interest in the building during the course of our marketing campaign. Â Atlantic National Holdings decided to purchase the property understanding it was a great opportunity to own a landmark building in downtown Portland. Â Situated on one acre of land with a parking garage located next door, the buyer expects the property will appeal to any number of users." Â
The transaction was brokered on behalf of the buyer by Frank O'Connor, CCIM, SIOR of NAI/The Dunham Group and on behalf of the seller by Gregory Boulos.
