Lobbying group buys Spanish Town office building

The Southern Strategy Group has purchased an office building on Spanish Town Road for $1.05 million. Southern Strategy, a lobbying firm, bought the partially occupied, 7,000-square-foot building from a group called 543 Spanish Town Road in a deal that closed Monday. Liz Mangham, managing partner for Southern Strategy, says the firm plans to eventually move from its current offices in Beauregard Town to the new building, just a short distance from the Capitol. “It was a nice opportunity,” Mangham says. The building has 20 parking spots on the ground floor. Mangham says there’s no timetable for when Southern Strategy will move to the other side of downtown. “We’re in the middle of the legislative session, so we’re swamped right now,” she says. “And I haven’t discussed it yet with the three other partners.”—Timothy Boone
