The class-A office facility is one of eight buildings in a 500,000-sf officepark. This building was completed in 1988 and purchased by BPG in December 2000.
The building is 100% leased to five tenants. The largest of them is Wilmington, NC-based PPD Pharmaco. All eight buildings in the park arevirtually 100% leased, according to a statement.
"When we purchased this property, we recognized the opportunity to create substantial value by aggressively managing the lease rollover risk," says Arthur P. Pasquarella, BPG's chief operating officer, in a statement. "Since the acquisition, we have successfully re-leased 35% of the building at a significantly higher rental rate."
Rental rates on this property was not disclosed. The average asking rate for class-A office properties in the Blue Bell area is about $25 per sf, and some properties command as much as $32 per sf, according to GlobeSt.com research.
