FAIRFIELD, OH (FOX19) - Real estate investment company Penklor and local real estate investors Matt Ostendorf and Jeff Bray have bought the Heritage Glen apartment complex on Pleasant Avenue in Fairfield, Ohio, formerly owned by troubled landlord Lanny Holbrook who recently died.

The apartment complex, at one time fully leased, fell victim to a fire in September 2010 and the building remains mostly vacant to this day.  New owners are bringing in professional management by Penklor Property Management.

The building will undergo a complete, multi-million dollar renovation beginning early 2012 that will include granite countertops, tile flooring and new decor in each unit. The first phase of renovations will be finished in spring of 2012 and will offer one, two and three bedroom units.
