"Early on in our transition from a regional industrial conglomerate to a real estate development company, we recognized the need for a strategy that could maximize the benefit of the earnings from our very low-basis land for shareholders," Peter S. Rummell, St. Joe's chairman and CEO, says in a statement. "Our investment building portfolio strategy was implemented to take advantage of [St. Joe's] unique circumstance. Beyond a sound strategy, our timing has also been excellent. We were fortunate to have been the buyer of these office buildings at the right time, and we believe we are also selling them at the right time.
The deal, which hit the table only six weeks ago, pushes Eola north into Virginia. The assets included in the original deal are located in Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Panama City, Atlanta, Richmond and Norfolk, VA.
