Laurel Finalizes Sale of Old Police HQ Building

The City of Laurel has completed the sale of the old police headquarters building, Mayor Craig Moe announced Tuesday.

San Francisco-based Klingbeil Capital Management paid $2.3 million for the building at 350 Municipal Square. The building will be developed into a mixed-use community of apartments with commercial space called the C Street Flats.

City officials had marked because it sits near the city’s MARC station and is part of the Laurel arts and entertainment district.

Moe said in a press release that the C Street Flats project would help advance the development of galleries, shops and residences in the arts and entertainment district with C Street as its epicenter.  The district could also include performance venues, such as an amphitheater, between B and C Streets for outdoor entertainment.

Jim Callard, the site’s developer, said Klingbeil was eager to contribute to Main Street’s revitalization.

“We are excited to once again be contributing to the revitalization of historic Main Street,” Callard said in a statement. ”And [we] are anxious to begin the development of C Street Flats as an integral part of Laurel’s Arts and Entertainment District and the city’s development of the Riverfront Park.”
