The congregation has been absorbed in Metropolitan
Methodist. The building (ca 22000 sq. ft.) and adjacent 23-24 space
parking lot (ca 17000 sq. ft.with driveway off River Road) was put up
for sale through Lincoln Properties, asking price $ 6.1 M. The
cemetery behind is apparently controlled by a separate association and
is not part of the deal. The Current reported a couple of weeks ago
that the was a sale contract ? no price indicated, name of purchaser
not given.
I was told recently that the purchaser may be AU. The same
source told me that AU purchased the row of business condos along 42nd
Street, makingb it a logical buyer for the Eldbrooke property. How a
sale to AU or anyone will interact with the effort to slap the
"historic" label on the [property remains to be seen.
This may be the next subject of community meetings and
struggles over future use of a significant property.
Separately I will forward added information go you.
