New Owner Wants $24-Mil Purchase of 165,000-SF Office Building Kept Quiet

WESTWOOD, MA-The new owners, who erect and manage telecommunications towers, paid Equity Office Properties $24 million for the 15-year-old suburban property, which the company intends to occupy as back office space.

WESTWOOD, MA-Apparently, American Tower Corp. does not like to pay rent. Just two years after buying its headquarters building in Boston’s Back Bay, the telecommunications tower company has acquired the Westwood Business Centre from Equity Office Properties. ATC will use the 165,000-sf building for back office space, according to industry sources.

American did not return phone calls to discuss the matter; in fact, company officials want to keep the $24-million deal so secret that they instructed Equity and the brokers, Trammell Crow, not to identify them as the buyer.
