An investment group has acquired, for $76.5 million, Brooklyn Law School’s four-story, 40,000-square-foot office building at One Boerum Place, located on the corner of Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn.

Demolition permits have not been filed for the 13,290-square-foot site’s current building, although groundbreaking is expected sometime next year.
