A Dallas investor is buying another of the office buildings up for grabs with the bankruptcy of a Houston real estate firm, the Dallas Morning News reported. Hartman SPE is selling its office and retail properties as part of a plan to refocus the real estate investment trust on self-storage properties. The unit of Houston’s Silver Star Properties REIT has been in bankruptcy since this summer following a dispute with the company founder. Hartman recently contracted to sell one of its North Dallas high-rises — a 10-story office on North Central Expressway — to retailer Costco which owns the property next door.
