The tallest building in Fort Worth, Texas has sold for a mammoth price drop. 

Burnett Plaza was purchased in a foreclosure auction for $12.3million just three years after it was sold for more than $137.5million. 

The 40-story building was bought by Pinnacle Bank Texas during the auction at the Tarrant County courthouse on Tuesday. 

According to public records, Pinnacle claimed that the building's previous owner, Burnett Cherry Street LLC, an affiliate of New York-based Opal Holdings LLC, failed to pay a $13million loan that was used to purchase the tower in 2021.
