Why ABC Imaging is buying a building in Fairfax Co. it hoped it wouldn't need

Medi Falsafi isn't someone who leaves a lot to chance.

And so, when his landlord at the Lafayette Center in downtown D.C. walled off the interior, open-air atrium facing his offices in the building's basement to install a fitness center to accommodate another tenant two years ago, Falsafi came to an important conclusion: In order to control its own destiny, ABC Imaging needed its own building rather than continuing to be a tenant in another landlord's property.

No, this isn't the classic anecdotal lede to an owner-occupied building sale, though that's certainly part of it. In October, Falsafi signed a contract to acquire a building in Fairfax County's Alexandria section for $6.2 million and is planning to close on the acquisition of 5920 Shawnee Road in January.
