A local development group has purchased the former Great Hope Baptist Church building and adjacent parking lots for $2.15 million, with plans to convert the property into apartments and townhomes.
The church building, located at 2101 Venable St., was listed for sale earlier this month for $1.25 million, just weeks after the purchase.
No comment was made by the developers regarding the decision to list the church building for sale.
The purchase included a half-acre parking lot at 2111-2119 Venable St. and a smaller parking lot at 810-812 N. 22nd St.
