The 26-story Oakland Tribune Tower was sold for more than $15 million on Friday (Jan. 20), but the Oakland Tribune and its parent, the Alameda Newspaper Group, won’t be forced to move, according to a story in the Oakland Tribune. John Protopappas, who bought the building in 1995 for $300,000 and received $1 million in city and county tax breaks, sold the 100-year-old landmark to Los Angeles entertainment lawyer Eddie Kislinger.
