Hornets standout LaMelo Ball has purchased Cam Newton's Uptown condo for $2.4M

• The sale, handled by Atlanta realtor Pierre Reeves, involved Newton's Agape Property Management Group LLC and Ball's MB1 Enterprises LLC.

Flashback: Newton first purchased the 3,100-square-foot condo for $2.1 million in 2015 before eventually leasing it to Ball.

• Ball reportedly continued to lease the property from Newton up until purchasing it last month.

Between the lines: Ball also owns another unit in the building, according to the article, which he purchased last August for $2.2M.

The intrigue: The Trust is known for courting high-profile, deep-pocketed buyers.

• In April, the building's sixth-floor condo (which takes up the entire floor) hit the market for nearly $5M, one of the city's priciest condo listings to date.

Background: Completed in 1967, The Trust was once the historic Home Federal Savings & Loan Building, before being converted to luxury condos.
