SOUTHFIELD MI, March 12, 2024 – Michigan based, Douglas Capital Partners, a value-add real estate investment firm founded in 2014, announces the acquisition of three Columbus area properties from American National Insurance Company and Brookfield. The $25.0 million portfolio is collectively 385,000 square feet, and is comprised of SouthPark XX, a Class A industrial property located at 3555 Gantz Rd in Grove City, and two high quality office buildings located in Dublin; the Emeral Professional Building at 5747 Perimeter Drive and Upper Metro Place located at 5200 Upper Metro Place South.

The Emerald Professional Building, is situated in the center of Dublin's corporate corridor.  This premium office building exemplifies sophistication and prestige in a distinguished setting for businesses to elevate their operations and establish a commanding presence in the market.
