The 6 acres of land were destined to be a 1.7gsf mixed-use development titled ‘Lafayette Place’, in the real estate industry rumors circulated that it was just a marketing ploy to prompt a sale. • Rather that be the case or not the sites in the end attracted one of the largest real estate development companies in the U.S. to purchase the land for $55.5MM.
