The owners of American Factory Direct Furniture have purchased the approximately 2.2-acre property that houses the company’s Gonzales showroom near Interstate 10. The Comeaux family acquired the property through its Brewster Gonzales entity from Broussard-based Guidry Land Development’s Gonzales Venture LLC for $7.9 million, according to a transaction recently filed with the Ascension Parish Clerk of Court’s office. Timothy Bradley represented Guidry Land Development in the sale, while American Factory Direct Furniture CFO Grace Comeaux-Piro represented the buyer.
