WASHINGTON, DC—Carr Properties has acquired the Columbia Center office building located near the to-be-built Fannie Mae headquarters here.

HFF, which arranged the sale, reported that the transaction for the 393,815-square-foot office building finally closed.

The Washington Business Journal reported in May that the property was to be sold by an affiliate of UBS for an anticipated sale price of $138 million or approximately $350-a-square-foot.

HFF did not disclose the sales price but did say that Carr Properties purchased the property free and clear of existing debt in a structured transaction together with affiliates of the Oliver Carr Co. and Clark Enterprises.

Columbia Center is located at 1152 15th Street NW. Completed in 2008, the 12-story property is currently 94% leased and is anchored long-term by Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe as well as Merrill Lynch.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller included Stephen Conley, Jim Meisel, Dek Potts, Andrew Weir and Matthew Nicholson.
