This building, which was bought from Texas-based Archon Group, continues Daejan's penetration of the local market. The company, which is represented locally by the Finch Group, owns an office building on nearby 77 North Washington St. and two similar properties on Franklin St.

The sale is also an indication of the revival of the North Station area, which was hit hard in the market crash in the early 1990s. A new state courthouse, several restaurants and increased public transportation have all helped revitalize the area. Vacancy rate here is now under one percent.
