Cousins Properties Acquires Promenade Two in Atlanta, GA for $134.7 Million



ATLANTA, GA -- Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE: CUZ) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Promenade Two (top left photo), a 774,000-square-foot, Class-A office building located in the Midtown submarket of Atlanta, Georgia, for $134.7 million in cash.

The Company expects to fund the acquisition on a leverage-neutral basis.

The building, currently 58% leased due to its anchor tenant recently vacating, has a high quality tenant base with no material lease expirations until 2016.

“Promenade Two provides us with a unique opportunity to acquire a trophy asset well below replacement cost and with the potential for exceptional value creation,” said Larry Gellerstedt (lower right photo), President and Chief Executive Officer of Cousins.

“We now have a trophy offering in all three urban submarkets along the Peachtree Corridor, furthering our strategic goal of upgrading the portfolio as we recycle out of older, stabilized assets.”
