Colonnade center in foreclosure sale

The holder of the mortgage on the first phase of the Colonnade Corporate Center has advertised a foreclosure sale on the property.

Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta has proposed selling the office building at noon on Jan. 6 at the Roanoke County Courthouse.

The center is composed of two buildings facing Virginia 419.

Only the oldest building is involved in the sale. Metropolitan Life does not have the lien on the other building.

Richard Maxwell, a lawyer representing Metropolitan Life, said the original mortgage was for $5.35 million. He said the company would not disclose the amount still owed.

William Lafferty, senior investment analyst for Metropolitan Life in Atlanta, said the figure is higher than the original mortgage because of accrued interest, but the exact calculation would not be made until the actual time of the foreclosure.

Colonnade Corporate Center was built by The Hobart Companies Ltd. of Richmond.
