In March 2015, Shelbourne bought the 17-story, glass-and-masonry tower from The Silverman Group of New Jersey. Shel- bourne also owns a majority stake in the nearby 20 Church St. office tower, known as the Stilts Building. According to New York-based Carrow Real- ty, 100 Pearl's property manager, the newest landlord spent nearly $250,000 to convert the atrium lighting to light-emitting diodes, plus hang new fabric tapestries to line the upper walls. Minor concrete repairs, too, were done in the building's underground parking garage, said Carrow Realty principal Charles Carrow. But the centerpiece of the lobby addi- tions is an Italian, glass-and-metal sculp- ture called a "Fabian'' hung from the ceil- ing of the three-story atrium, above the concierge desk. SLAM's Woodbury schoolwork Glastonbury's SLAM Collaborative has been hired to provide architectural-engineer- ing services for the planned $68.3 million make- over of Woodbury's Nonnewaug High School Typical of renovate-as-new school-build- ing projects, the state provides funding for a portion of the renovation. SLAM is working to digitize all building data to create a 3D model of the school, enabling school administrators and staff to assess space needs and other essential components of the project. Construction is slated to begin in June 2017. $1.3M S. Windsor sale A 34,132-square-foot South Windsor indus- trial building brought $1.3 million in a recent sale, brokers say.

Meantime, the owner of East Granby's Airport Business Center has put its com- mercial-industrial property on the market. According to listing broker Sentry Com- mercial, owner Airport Business Center III L.P. hasn't set a sale price. Instead, it will rely on the marketplace to set value for the three buildings at 25-27 and 29 Kripes Road, totaling 64,840 square feet on 6.05 acres. ABC opened in 1987 and generates $326,000 of annual net operating income.
