Now that locally based Blackstone Group LP has won the bidding for Equity Office Properties Trust of Chicago, the capital markets will have to digest much of the $39-billion acquisition price.

CHEVY CHASE, MD-After receiving two offers, Mills says this offer is more favorable than Brookfield's because it offers a higher acquisition price per share.

FREDERICK, MD-The portfolio is 97% occupied by 17 tenants, only one of which is likely to leave in the near future.

BALTIMORE-The firm will lease the entire building, which is being developed by Cignal Development Corp., and plans to use 100,000 sf for office space and the remainder for storage.

STERLING, VA-The 134,000-sf building is a two-story structure with 29,000 sf of office space and the balance divided between manufacturing and storage use.

STERLING, VA-The industrial building was completed in December 2006.

OXON HILL, MD-The buyer is optimistic that this submarket is poised to develop even further thanks to a large mixed-use project under development.

RICHMOND, VA-To jumpstart the acquisitions, Onyx acquires a $16.2-million property here. The class B complex is comprised of garden apartments and is 94% occupied.
