The city-owned office building, which leases space to several nonprofits and is located across the street from the downtown Depot, was appraised for the city at $1,035,000 by commercial real estate appraiser Alan W. Sutton, but will be sold to Kotis for $900,000, who made the highest offer.
"According to Guilford County public access tax records, the seven parcels of property for sale that make up the Bardolph building and its parking lot at Church and Washington streets have a total appraised value of $3,054,100 based on market values as of the date of the last countywide reappraisal in 2012.
“The city’s not in the real estate business,” said Ted Partrick, the city’s engineering manager, explaining why the city agreed to sell the property below its more recently appraised value of $1,035,000. “The city’s not set up to be landlords.”"
No mention of Marty Kotis' campaign contributions

on a property supposedly worth $1,035,000
which was supposed to be worth $3,054,100 in 2012

and the Rhino Times
