Rumors that Golden Belt in Durham is on the market appear to be true, according to an online newsletter by Cassidy Turley, a real estate firm. The first page of company’s third-quarter newsletter states that “Supported by strong institutional investor interest in the Raleigh/Durham area, a number of investment properties will be out to market in the fourth quarter, including Golden Belt.”
The INDY confirmed the rumor from an independent source unaffiliated with the real estate firm or the property.
A secure, non-public URL also indicates the property is for sale.
