Parametric Technology Corporation, a software developer, leases the entire building, which is part of the 140-acre Lexington Preserve Business Park.

“We're very pleased to have sold this asset to Gladstone,” said Ron Schiferl, senior vice president of commercial properties for CSM. “Lexington Preserve IV is an anchor to the successful development of Lexington Preserve Business Park, and having high-quality ownership and management of this property was of significant importance to CSM.”
