Wachovia is signing on for over 10 years at the RPW Group-owned building. Situated just off Interstate 287, the building totals 600,000 square feet of office--of which 150,000 square feet remains open. "Leasing momentum at the building remains active despite current economic conditions and [C&W is] in talks with a number of tenants from varying industries," says Walsh, in a statement. The asking price of the building is $35 per square foot, according to Walsh.

RPW just completed a multi-million dollar capital improvement program for the building, which included a 20,000-square-foot glass atrium, stretching to roughly the height of the building. The owner revamped restrooms, the cafeteria, elevators and curb appeal.

Wachovia was on the cusp of bankruptcy, but was thenacquired by Wells Fargo & Co., positioning it to re-evaluate its corporate structure for efficiency. Walsh tells GlobeSt.com that Wachovia looked to the suburbs for an office to give its clients easier access, as opposed to the crowded city.
