Buying Land Between Ballparks

CK Mint Street LLC bought 1.69 acres on Martin Luther King Boulevard near Bank of America Stadium last month for $3.5 million, according to property records and NAI Southern Real Estate. The land, at 355 Martin Luther King Blvd., is currently being used as a parking lot. It is adjacent to the proposed new minor league baseball park at the corner of South Mint Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard. Developers once had big plans for the Third Ward area, including building a 39-story condo-hotel. Plans for the hotel were later scrapped.
