SAN JOSE — A data center building in San Jose has been bought by a veteran California real estate firm in a sign of ongoing investor interest in these types of tech properties.

Digital Realty, a major player in data center properties, sold the building to the Overton Moore affiliate, the county records show.

The building totals about 130,800 square feet, according to Digital Realty regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
