Details: In-Rel Management Inc. has bought the 123,924-square-foot office building at 6555 Quince Road in the Quince/Ridgeway area of Southeast Memphis for $5 million in a special warranty deed.
The company, operating in the transaction as 6555 Quince Building Owner LLC, bought the property Dec. 7 from BACM 2000-2 Quince Road LLC, an entity related to Miami-based LNR Partners Inc.
Completed in 1989, the building sits on 5.94 acres at the southwest corner of Quince Road and Kirby Parkway near Tenn. 385. The Shelby County Assessor of Property’s 2009 appraisal is $8.5 million.
Formerly known as the “Comcast Building,” the property was hit hard when Comcast moved. It now will be called Quince Centre, according to a release from Lake Worth, Fla.-based In-Rel, which has an office in Memphis. The company’s local portfolio includes about 1.4 million square feet of office space, including the Clark Tower and Lynnfield Office Park.
Ron Riley, executive vice president for In-Rel’s local office, said this acquisition “fits in very nicely with our existing portfolio and gives us the opportunity to tap into the 385 corridor and its current tenant base.”
Quince Centre has 15 tenants and is 45 percent leased. The company is looking to rebrand the building and take advantage of being close to Tenn. 385.

Y5 bought the Neshoba Grove lot for $175,000 from Kircher-Belz Builders LLC, the company that developed the subdivision and also will build one home for the spring show.

Sale Date: Dec. 10

Details: The property slated to house the Butler Rows condominiums in the South Forum District was sold back to the lender Dec. 10 following a foreclosure.

The owner, Butler Rows LLC, defaulted on a $2.7 million loan through First Citizens dated Sept. 21, 2007. The plan for Butler Rows was a five-story building with 35 townhome-style units, each with a private elevator and two-car garage, according to the developer’s Web site, www.butlerrows.com.
The Shelby County Assessor of Property shows the parcels in the same condition as when Butler Rows LLC bought them.
