CHARLOTTE, NC –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the sale of and arranged acquisition financing for Financial Center, a 311,201-square-foot, Class A office tower in downtown Birmingham, Alabama.

HFF arranged the sale on behalf of the seller, Allegiance Realty Corporation.  An affiliate of Daniel Corporation purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt.  Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, HFF placed the floating-rate acquisition loan with a life insurance company. 

Completed in 1982, Financial Center has been substantially renovated beginning in 2013, including renovations to the lobby and common areas, elevator modernizations, adding an outdoor patio and a new location for Edgar’s Bakery. 

The 18-story building is home to a variety of tenants – including Christian & Small and Crowne Partners – that will soon include Daniel Corporation after it relocates its corporate headquarters to Financial Center. 

Located at 505 20th Street North in downtown Birmingham, Financial Center is situated in the largest office market between Georgia and Texas.  The tower is two blocks from the Jefferson County Courthouse and the federal courthouse and proximate to Interstates 20, 59 and 65, which run through Birmingham.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Ryan Clutter, managing director Ralph Smalley and associate director Kelly Kuykendall.
