A
former retail building in a prominent location in south San Jose has been sold after an auction. The property, located at 5651 Cottle Road, was once home to an Orchard Supply Hardware store.

    The site has been vacant for some time, but its high-profile spot made it attractive to potential buyers. An auction was held to find a new owner, and the sale has now been finalized.

    Details of the buyer and purchase price were not immediately available. The acquisition marks a new chapter in the life of this once-thriving retail location.
