In the wake of that deal, NAS Holdings LLC made a $1 million purchase of the 58-year-old former Perkins Restaurant building and land at 432 16th Ave. NW on Dec. 29, 2022.
NAS purchased that property from Rochester-based Perk 4 LLC, which is led by developer Dan Penz . Perk 4 bought that property for $1. 87 million in 2018. The restaurant closed later that year and the building has been empty since then.
