All four 1980s-vintage buildings, which were acquired by Behringer Harvard over the past five years, will now be able to give prospective tenants greater confidence in negotiating new leases, says Dean Patterson, the company's vice president of asset management in Atlanta. Asking rents at the buildings range from $20 to $28 per square foot.

"The successful recapitalization of Ashford Perimeter now provides additional capital resources that will enable JLL to exercise wider latitude in meeting the unique space requirements of many types of potential tenants for that property," Patterson says. "We have reliable access to the capital required to make appropriate tenant improvements and offer attractive commissions to brokers."

Ashford Perimeter, at 4151 Ashford Dunwoody Road in the Central Perimeter submarket, contains 288,175 square feet in six floors. Paces West, at 2727 Paces Ferry Road, has 646,000 square feet in two 18-story buildings and is the former headquarters of The Home Depot Inc. Resurgens Plaza, at 945 E. Paces Ferry Road, has 400,175 square feet in 27 stories.
