PLANS, DESCRIPTION: Lynn and Thomas Mount of Naples purchased a 6,890-square-foot vacant medical office building on U.S. 41 for $1 million.

The price equated to $145 per square foot.

Constructed in 1972, the building is located near the Fifth Avenue retail district. It previously housed a DaVita Dialysis Center.
