Finmarc Acquires DC-Area Portfolio
The assets traded for about one-third of their previous sale price.
Finmarc Management has acquired Trinity Centre, a four-building office portfolio totaling almost 500,000 square feet in Centreville, Va., a Washington, D.C., submarket. Spear Street Capital LLC and Partners Group sold the assets for $39.4 million.
Cushman & Wakefield brokered the deal on behalf of the seller, while Finmarc was represented in-house. Kelley Drye & Warren LLP Partner Aaron Rosenfeld provided legal services to the new owner. The portfolio was 71 percent leased at the time of sale.
The four buildings previously traded in 2012 in two separate transactions, when the joint venture acquired them from Clark Enterprises, CommercialEdge data shows. The total sale price was $108.5 million, almost three times higher than the current price.
