McGray Group II sold the building, and the nameless buyer is mum on its plans, says Structure Commercial prez Eric Deuillet, who closed the sale with Lee & Associates principal Nathan Denton. The sale includes a three-story parking garage behind the 11k SF former restaurant. Sullivan’s, which is part of the Del Frisco Restaurant Group, closed in summer 2012.

Eric tells us he's getting more listings and adding more brokers. When he can sneak away, he spends time with his wife, Heather, and the kids, 6-year-old Nicholas and 3-year-old Alexandra.
