Cousins Picks up Promenade II in Atlanta for $134.7M

Cousins Properties announced this week that it had completed the acquisition of Promenade II in Atlanta, GA for $133.7 million in cash. Cousins bought the property from Charter Hall Office REIT. According to a CoStar report, Eastdil Secured and Jones Lang LaSalle handled the transaction for the seller.

The 774,000 square foot Class-A office building, located in the Midtown submarket, was 58% leased at the time of purchase with major tenants including Smith, Gambrell & Russell LLP and McGuireWoods LLP. "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, 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."
