The Film Exchange Building at 2310 Cass Ave. and its parking lot sold for an estimated $8.75 million. The Bookie’s Bar & Grille building at 2208 Cass Ave. sold for an estimated $4.2 million. Both LLC buyers list their addresses as PO boxes, a tactic frequently used by the Illitches who are in talks with Stephen Ross for his Detroit Center for Innovation Project with the University of Michigan. Two other properties at 135 West Montcalm and 231 W. Elizabeth St. have also sold and list a Troy PO box address. All of these properties are within the footprint that Stephen Ross is targeting for his project.
