"The buildings are at 1 Dana St., 1 Exchange St., 7 Exchange St. and 377 Fore St.
The acquisition closed over a period of six months for an undisclosed sum.
The company said it has a commitment to the stewardship and revitalization of Portland’s historic architecture and a vision for the evolution of the Old Port neighborhood.
The properties were acquired from the estate of Joseph Leader Soley in an inter-family transaction completed without brokerage representation on the buyer’s side.
“My grandfather Joe had a long and storied history with these buildings and the Old Port at large,” said Jacob Soley, East Brown Cow’s director of development."
