An affiliate of Harbor Group International, L.L.C. (HGI), based in Norfolk, Virginia, has acquired the BB&T Tower, an 18-story office tower in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, from an affiliate of Acropolis Capital for $30.05 million.

The Property includes a 656-space parking garage plus an additional parcel that could be developed for office or other uses.
