Wizard Entertainment HQ For Sale: Comics Not Included

Wizard Entertainment HQ For Sale: Comics Not Included

To be filed under "Talk Amongst Yourselves," we were recently sent a link to a Century 21 ad for a property located in Congers, NY, that piqued our interest. Apparently, the office of Wizard Entertainment, publisher of Wizard Magazine, is being shopped around for potential buyers.

According to the ad, the owners of the property (Wizard Entertainment) are looking for $4 million in exchange for the 35,000 square-foot property. Although we’re not sure what to infer about this aspect of the posting:

Owner would prefer to deliver building vacant but would be agreeable to a lease back 60-100% of office/warehous [sic] space.

When asked for comment on the posting, a representative of Wizard identified only as "Ed" said that the publisher was simply "checking our business options."

Additionally, when asked about the company’s plans should the building find a new owner, the Wizard representative responded, "We may not go anywhere. We may sell the building and stay as a tenant. We may sell the building and move across the street."

Neither Century 21 nor representatives at Wizard would offer any further comment on the sale or its implications for the publisher.

What we really want to know, though, is whether the pricetag includes that warehouse full of comics seen in the ad. Maybe there are a few good issues of Captain America hidden in there.
