The buyer of the former FBI building in Arlington isn’t wasting time cleaning out the structure.

Kozman Realty Inc. seeks a building permit to gut the interior and remove some of the exterior elements of the six-story, almost 94,000-square-foot building.

All American Debris & Wrecking LLC is listed as the contractor for the $275,000 job.

Kozman Realty, with an address in Canada, paid $1.2 million for the vacant building on 4.8 acres at 7820 Arlington Expressway. The deed was executed Sept. 26.

Kozman Realty has not returned calls.

Miami-based Bnei Zipora Inc. sold the property to Kozman Realty. Bnei Zipora representatives did not return a call or email for comment. A quitclaim deed shows the group acquired the property in 2017 for $250,000.

The structure was built in 1975. It was leased to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Jacksonville field office until the FBI moved in 2009 to a government-owned building at 6061 Gate Parkway.

The LoopNet.com commercial real estate site says the Class C office building has been vandalized and without power, “adding to the demise of its visible condition.”

The site said the building could be useful to “a savvy value-add investor” who would recognize it has a better use or could be held for development.

Kozman Realty is led by Marc Peter Kozman and Barthina Kozman.
