HFF senior managing directors Glenn Whitmore (top left photo) and Dave Nackoul, associate director Dan Byrnes and real estate analyst Tom Rieck led the investment sales team exclusively on behalf of the seller, a global financial institution.

HRPT Properties Trust purchased the complex for an undisclosed amount.

Situated on a nearly seven-acre site at 901 and 1001 Lakeside Avenue, North Point Office Complex is close to the Cleveland Browns football stadium, City Hall and the shores of Lake Erie.

A light rail stop across the street provides transportation to the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and Interstates 77 and 90 are a short distance from the property.
