The $5.5 million acquisition of the Lafayette Center — a former mill turned office building in downtown Kennebunk — is one of the largest commercial real estate purchases in the town’s history, according to a news release.
Tenants in the building include Tom’s of Maine, Kennebunk Resort Collection, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Duffy’s Tavern & Grill and Saltwater Home Interior Design.
White Bark Property Management LLC bought the Lafayette Center at 2 Storer St. from Kesslen Mill LLC.
David Jones and Thomas Gadbois of F.O. Bailey Real Estate represented the buyer and Josh Soley and Andre Rosignol of CORE represented the seller. For the seller, said Soley, the time was right to “simplify life.”
The seller had owned the center for about five years, during which time all of the condos in the building were aggregated to put the property together as a whole. The seller also performed major improvements, including the facade and windows.
