Paramount Group has completed the sale of 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., a 190,955-square-foot Class A office property, for $103 million.
The transaction, which marks Paramount’s exit from the D.C. market, brought a $12 million discount from the previously announced price, first reported in early March. According to Paramount, the price reduction was spurred by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The property last traded in 2010, when the current seller acquired it from KanAm Grund for $151.1 million.
