Located on Rockledge Dr., the two eight-story buildings are connected totaling approximately 407,000 sf. They are currently empty.

"As we lease up these buildings, their long term value will be realized."
Piedmont acquired the buildings with a buy-and-hold mindset. The company wants to increase its footprint here and is positioning itself for the long-term. Another factor in the acquisition is that it allows Piedmont to leverage its operating capabilities in the area.
