Tortilla machine maker pays $3.6M+ for Midtown building

A small Midtown building last home to apartments and now accommodating a short-term rentals business has sold for $3.65 million — with the new owner a manufacturer of machines that make Mexican foods.

The sale comes about two years after the Post reported in June 2019 that the property, located at 1705 State St., had been listed for sale for $4.1 million. The new owner, according to a Davidson County Register of Deeds document, is an LLC affiliated with California-based JC Ford Company. That business announced in May it will be relocating its operations to Maury County, committing to a $30 million investment and the creation of 210 new jobs.
