FLORHAM PARK, NJ –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the sale of 1125 Route 22, a 95,620-square-foot, fully-leased office building in Somerset County, New Jersey.

1125 Route 22 is located along Route 22 West just off of Interstate 287 about an hour drive from Manhattan.  This location provides tenants with easy access to commuter roadways such as Interstates 78 and 95, and it is located only three miles from the Raritan train station that provides service to Manhattan and connections to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

 The property consists of two separate wings and is occupied by two tenants: Bank of America and MidJersey Health Corporation (a joint venture of Hunterdon Healthcare System and Atlantic Health System), and has been recently updated with improvements to its roof, landscaping, installation of a new building management system and a new parking lot. 

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Jose Cruz, managing director Kevin O’Hearn, directors Stephen Simonelli and Michael Oliver and associate director Marc Duval.

“The property’s location and access to Route 22 and Interstate 287, as well as the new medical tenant with an extensive build-out, made this asset highly sought after by the investor community,” stated Cruz.

WASHINGTON, DC. –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the $259 million sale of 1325 and 1341 G Street, two Class A office buildings totaling 440,419 square feet in Washington, D.C.’s East End submarket.

HFF arranged the sale of the property on behalf of the sellers, Westbrook Partners, LLC and TIER REIT, and procured the buyer, UNIZO Holdings Company, Limited, on an off-market basis.

1325 and 1341 G Street are located just two blocks from the White House and one block from the Metro Center metrorail station providing public transit to the entire D.C. area.  1325 G Street, which features 307,705 square feet, was originally built in 1969 and renovated in 2017. 

Originally built in 1903, 1341 G Street NW (The Colorado Building) has also been updated and has 132,714 square feet of office and retail space. 

In June 2015, HFF arranged a joint venture between Westbrook Partners and TIER REIT on an off-market basis. The new venture undertook a significant repositioning – including a lobby renovation – and in so doing achieved approximately 150,000 RSF of leasing activity, thereby increasing occupancy and the weighted average remaining lease term significantly.  In conjunction, the seller also significantly improved the tenant profile offered by the assets. 

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by Andrew Weir, Stephen Conley, Jim Meisel, Dek Potts and Matt Nicholson.
