John Gabriel of Vulcan Property Management said purchasing the property was “an internal decision.”

“We’ve had office properties located downtown, and we still have one, and I wanted to diversity any real estate we purchased moving forward,” Gabriel said. “It’s in a different county … it’s a retail property —we only have office property — and frankly it’s on one of probably the best corners in the county up there. The location is absolutely beautiful, and it’s been maintained wonderfully by Schumacher Dugan.

“All those things just made it very, very attractive.”
