Fairlead bought the buildings June 27 through ROC II Fairlead Gran Park at Avenues LLC. Keybank issued the mortgage Tuesday to the limited liability company.
Fairlead bought three buildings, totaling 240,000 square feet, at 7406 and 7411 Fullerton St. and 10199 Southside Blvd. from FDG Avenues II LLC, which is a successor company to Flagler Development Co. and before that, Gran Central Corp.

Fairlead Florida Senior Managing Director J.J. Conners said the buildings are 90 percent leased. Primary tenants include Florida East Coast Railway, Progressive Insurance and Value Options, he said.
Duval County Clerk of Court records show Fairlead bought three parcels that comprise the buildings and a little more than an acre of vacant land, totaling almost 36 acres.
The properties carry a 2014 market value in progress of $17 million.
