Brookfield Office Properties announced that it had successfully sold the Newport Tower office building in Jersey City, New Jersey for $377.5 million, making it the largest single office asset transaction in New Jersey history. Multi-Employer Property Trust (MEPT) bought the 36-story, 1.1-million-square-foot office building with advisement from Bentall Kennedy; CB Richard Ellis represented Brookfield in the transaction.
"This was the optimal time to monetize this mature asset, having achieved opportunistic returns for us and our fund partners," said Dennis Friedrich, president and global chief investment officer of Brookfield Office Properties. "During our six-year period of ownership and management, we were able to successfully lease-up, stabilize, and incorporate sustainable strategies in the building to significantly increase value."
Brookfield originally acquired the building as part of a $7.6 billion purchase of Trizec in 2006. The building was reportedly 89% leased at the time of sale with major tenants including BNP Paribas and AXA Equitable.
