Former Trump Tower site sold

TAMPA — Brownstone Tampa Partners LLC bought the former site of Tampa Trump Tower, along with an adjacent office complex known as the CapTrust building, for $5 million.

Brownstone Tampa Partners is composed of Connecticut-based O, R&L Facility Services, Owens Realty Network LLC, and Community Reinvestment Partners II LP, a joint venture between Forge Capital Partners LLC and DeBartolo Development LLC.
