A prominent San Jose Boulevard office building was sold Monday to David Skinner, a member of the Skinner family of Jacksonville property owners.
David Godfrey Skinner, as trustee of the David Godfrey Skinner Revocable Trust, paid $1.75 million for the three-story structure at 6022 San Jose Blvd.
Built in 2008, the structure has been vacant for several months.
Formerly called the Brownstone Building, the previous landlord leased space to The Brownstone Group, the parent company of Latitude 360.
The company closed its entertainment and dining venues in Jacksonville and Indianapolis in January, leaving it with just one venue in operation in Pittsburgh.
Skinner said his family’s business office, Goldsmith Asset Management LLC, will occupy some space but will lease out the majority of the building. “It’s just investment property,” he said.
Skinner’s brother, Chip Skinner, and Skinner Bros. Realty will handle leasing for the building.
Skinner Bros. Realty represented David Skinner in the purchase. Oliver Barakat with CBRE represented the seller.
Chip Skinner said Goldsmith will use about 2,500 square feet, leaving the rest of the 10,100-square-foot structure for tenants.
He anticipates the building will attract professional services such as attorneys, CPAs and others.
Skinner said the building will be renamed, but no decision has been made about what to call it. It will be refurbished, he said.
David Skinner said he expects to occupy the building over the next few months. He now uses space nearby.
Skinner bought the building from KJE Properties LLC, which took title to the property in 2010.
