| BB&T has ?delayed temporarily? the foreclosure auction for 50 Allen Plaza, the one-acre parcel that Barry planned for another office tower, BB&T's Merrie Tolbert told us via e-mail yesterday. The bank has advertised to foreclose on the land in the Fulton Daily Report for the past few weeks; the parcel was originally scheduled to beauctioned on the courthouse steps yesterday. Merrie declined to elaborate as to why BB&T decided to withdraw the property from foreclosure—the second time it has done so—or whether the bank would pursue foreclosure again. Hal, when reached by phone, also declined to comment on the latest developments. | |
