Belle Meade Town Center sold

An entity of Goldman Sachs Group paid $15.26 million for the Belle Meade Town Center on Tuesday in a foreclosure sale on the steps of the Davidson County courthouse. A subsidiary of Goldman Sachs had previously purchased the rights to the loan.
MLQ-Bell, LLC was the only bidder for the property, said attorney Brendi Kaplan, who handled the sale. The foreclosure process was started after Wells Fargo accused borrower BMT Associates of defaulting on a $23.6 million loan toward the development, which rehabbed the historic Belle Meade Theatre off Harding Road into a Harris Teeter grocery store, bank branch and luxury apartments.
