The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Randy Baird, managing director Jud Clements, director Robby Rieke and real estate analyst Justin Kundrak.

The buyer, Red Tail Acquisitions (RTA), is a value and core-plus investor that seeks office, industrial and retail properties that normally have leasing or construction issues.

 Over the last 25 years, the group has purchased more than 10 million square feet of commercial property in the western United States. 

The acquisitions team was led by Sean Miller, executive vice president.  Ryan Rubenkoenig, executive vice president, also contributed to the acquisition.

“This acquisition not only represents an exciting opportunity for Red Tail Acquisitions to expand its DFW holdings, but is also a prime example of the types of investments we hope to make throughout Texas,” Miller said.  “RTA would like to thank AEW and HFF, who were great transaction partners.”
