Galium Capital and joint venture partner Owens Realty Capital just paid $25.1 million for a Palm Beach Gardens office building anchored by Seacoast National Bank.

The 67,500-square-foot building at 3001 PGA Boulevard traded for about $372 per square foot. The seller, GLL 3001, L.P., is tied to a Munich, Germany-based real estate fund, GLL Real Estate Partners.

The property previously sold for $28.4 million in 2006 as part of GLL’s buyout of the previous owner’s assets, said Jacques Bessoudo, a partner at Galium.

Built in 2006, the 5.6-acre property sits along PGA Boulevard, just south of the Gardens Mall and features 246 parking spaces.
