The buyer of a church-turned-event-venue in downtown Portland has an eye toward increasing its visibility for weddings and other gatherings. Jedi Temple LLC bought 15 Chestnut St., adjacent to Portland City Hall, from Boodilly LLC for $1.43 million.
The buyer was represented by Josh Soley and Frank Carr of CORE. The sale was conducted through an auction process conducted by Tranzon Auction Properties.
“This is one of Portland’s most distinctive historic structures, and it’s a place many people remember fondly from when it was active and full of life,” said Josh Soley, CORE’s president.
