The former crown court on the corner of Civic Drive has been sold months after going on sale in January of this year.
Sitting empty for around three years, Ipswich Borough Council put the building up for sale with a hope that a new occupation of the building would support the council's "vision for a thriving town centre."

Sale agreed signs have appeared on the outside over the last few days, although the future of the building is unclear.
The former crown court, which dates backs to the 1960s, currently still has a number of cells which may require significant development.
A change of use will be required if the new owners wish for the building to be come something other than a place of education, worship, court, museum, gallery, or library.
Neil MacDonald previously said the redevelopment of the building will "lead to this site being of long-term benefit to the town centre".
"Ensuring there is ongoing use of the former crown court supports our vision for a thriving town centre," he said.
