The former Brix Restaurant, which closed late last year won't sit vacant for long.

Stephen Press of Press/Cuozzo Realtors said Monday that the now vacant restaurant building at 1721 Highland Ave., has been purchased for $715,000. It will remain a restaurant, although Press has no immediate word on when the new eatery might open for business.

The building sits on a little over an acre and has 5,200 square feet of restaurant space, he said.

I'll update this story as soon as we get more details, such as the name of  the new owner and his plans for opening.
