Bruce Johnson has purchased a roughly 1.7-acre site near the intersection of Airline Highway and Commerce Centre Drive, near La. 42 in Prairieville, from Neighbors Federal Credit Union. According to Justin Langlois with Sperry Van Ness, who brokered the transaction, Neighbors had acquired about 2.6 acres at the site a few years ago and is selling off a portion of their original purchase to Johnson. The sale closed for $495,000, or about $6.70 per square foot. Neighbors is retaining slightly less than an acre of land at the corner of Commerce Centre Drive and Airline Highway. Johnson will construct a 6,500-square-foot office building for Keller Williams First Choice. First Choice was looking for a site to take advantage of the growth in the Ascension Parish market, and this site fit their needs, Langlois says. Construction of the building should begin sometime in the next few months.
