As first reported by <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crainsdetroit.com\/article\/20140603\/NEWS\/140609924\/gm-subsidiary-buys-4-detroit-riverfront-properties\" rel=\"nofollow\">Crain\u2019s Detroit Business<\/a><\/em>, the acquisition encompasses three vacant buildings totaling nearly 31,000 square feet and a 0.8-acre surface parking lot. While the financial terms haven\u2019t been disclosed, <em>Crain\u2019s<\/em> said that the buyer was represented in the transaction by the Detroit office of CBRE Inc.<\/p>\n<p>The largest and oldest asset in this bulk acquisition is the 12,700-square-foot structure sitting at 260 Schweizers Place that used to house the night club called Vondie\u2019s on the River. The two-story building was constructed in 1885 and was previously owned by Handy Parking Inc.<\/p>\n<p>The second building is located at 673 Franklin Street and has 9,600 square feet. According to <em>Crain\u2019s <\/em>the 36-year-old building was previously owned by R.D. Franklin LLC and housed the Club Waterfall nightclub, McNarney\u2019s Public House and a restaurant called Currents.<\/p>\n<p>The third building that Riverfront Holdings purchased last month is an 8,400-square-foot  office structure located at 672 Woodbridge Street, while the surface parking lot is located at 689 Franklin Street between St. Antoine and Schweizers Place.<\/p>\n<p>Another deal that recently made headlines involves Bedrock Real Estate Services, which reportedly acquired two mid-sized office buildings and a vacant lot in Detroit\u2019s Capitol Park, adding more than 50,000 square feet to Dan Gilbert\u2019s 8.2 million-square-foot real estate empire.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/business\/detroit\/index.ssf\/2014\/05\/bedrock_real_estate_services_t.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">MLive.com<\/a>,<\/em> two of the properties\u2014a six-story, 35,000-square-foot facility at 119 State Street and a five-story, 11,500-square-foot facility located at 45 W. Grand River Avenue\u2014are in bad shape and will probably be redeveloped into retail buildings with apartments on the upper levels. The empty lot at 28 W.
