Sister companies that own Taco Bell and Sonic restaurant franchises have purchased a building in Liberty Park for $2.4 million with plans to make it their new corporate headquarters.

Tacala LLC and Boom Foods LLC, which operate 162 Taco Bell and 70 Sonic locations, respectively, plan to move from the current leased office space in Cahaba Heights to the 18,000 square-foot offices at 3750 Corporate Woods Drive.

Marjorie Perlman, vice president of marketing for the companies, said the move will likely come in May 2011. She said the company decided it wanted to own its offices rather than to continue leasing. RTR Partners LLC, a sister company established to buy real estate, was the actual purchaser of the Liberty Park building from the previous owner, TNS Building LLC.

Graham & Co. broker Sam Carroll represented RTR Partners in the purchase.

Carroll also represented Boos Development Group Inc. in its sale of a 3,600-square-foot office building at 2067 Columbiana Road. Silver Oak Realty purchased that building for $382,500, with plans to house the law offices of bankruptcy attorney Taylor Crockett on the second floor.
