Jeff Allen, owner of Allen Contracting, purchased property at 129 E Main in Bricktown for $560,000 from Richard Magann.

The two-story industrial loft building was constructed in 1920 and totals 6,390 square feet.

Allen says future plans include renovations to the property for office space which Allen Contracting will use as its general office.

He said in the upcoming months he will hire an architect and then go before the Bricktown Design Committee for a proposal.

“The building hasn’t been occupied in a while, but we’re in no big hurry,” he said. “We’re just going to take our time and do it right.”

Allen said he took an interest to the property while refurbishing the Walnut Street Bridge (currently the Dr. G.E. Finley Bridge), a $4.2 million project designed to provide vehicular and pedestrian traffic to the Bricktown area.

The bridge which had been closed for nearly two years reopened in July 2006.

Carl Avey with Thomas Lay Realtors handled the deal. Lawyer’s Title handled the closing.
