Tishman Takes Over 16 US Office Buildings

Tishman Speyer Properties announced that it would take over 16 office properties in the United States from its affiliated Australian REIT, Tishman Speyer Office Fund. According to a CoStar report, the fund owns 99.9% of four office buildings totaling 893,000 square feet and 45.9% ownership in another 12 totaling 7.46 million square feet. The Australian Fund agreed to sell the properties for $1.5 billion, plus an expected $48.5 million for transaction costs.

"The consequences of becoming a U.S. domestic reporting company are significant and burdensome, with consequential increases in costs to meet enhanced reporting and compliance obligations," the Australian company said.

The properties in the takeover include: 300 Park Ave. and CitySpire in New York; Greenwich American Centre in Greenwich, CT; Bala Plaza in Philadelphia; 227 West Monroe and 222 West Adams in Chicago; Plaza East I and II in Milwaukee; 520 Pike Tower in Seattle; One Bush Street and 595 Market Street in San Francisco; Bayside Towers in Foster City, CA; 400 Castro Street in Mountain View, CA; Lakeside in Northern Virginia; and Maples Plaza, 407 North Maple Drive and Beverly Mercedes Place in Beverly Hills, CA.
