ATLANTA - BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE:BXC), a leading distributor of building products in North America, announced today the sale of its office building located in Denver, Colorado. The approximately 68,000-square-foot office building sold for $8.2 million. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale to pay down debt. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately $4.0 million related to this transaction in the third quarter of 2013 as a reduction of operating expense.

"Our Western Sales Center relocated to a new office in Denver during the second quarter of 2013, which allowed us to take advantage of the opportunity to sell this property. This sale further demonstrates the Company's ability to leverage real estate holdings to generate the highest possible return on assets while continuing to support its customers throughout the country," said BlueLinx CFO Doug Goforth.
