Acqtel Realty, Inc. moves to Downtown Manassas

Acqtel Realty, Inc. relocated its headquarters to Downtown Manassas.

The firm invested $30,000 in renovations into a property at the corner of Church and Main West streets, across from the city’s Old Post Office building.

The company relocated from offices off Gaskins Way, near the Manassas Campus of Northern Virginia Community College in Prince William County.

Title Associates of Virginia and New Penn Financial are also located inside the new offices at the 131-year-old building.

Acqtel Realty, Inc. Owner Jim Smith said he began searching for a place to relocate his business in January.

“I came here to look at the Old Post Office building which was for sale, and then I turned around and noticed this building,” said Smith.

He jumped at the chance to renovate an older building, saying he has a passion for older homes and historic buildings in the neighborhood. Acqtel Realty, Inc. replaces a law firm that had been located inside the building.

The new owners of the building held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and barbecue on Friday, July 15.
