April 7, 2016 – Philadelphia – Rubenstein Partners, L.P. (including its affiliates, “Rubenstein”), announced today the acquisition of Interstate North Office Park in Atlanta for approximately $90 million. Interstate North Office Park, consisting of 11 buildings and 985,490 square feet, is situated at the intersection of I-75 and I-285, immediately adjacent to the new Atlanta Braves baseball stadium and the associated mixed-use development.
Interstate North Office Park sits on 67 acres in the Northwest submarket, one of Atlanta’s leading office locations. Rubenstein, which acquired the property in an off-market transaction, plans a further investment in improvements to outdoor common areas, building lobbies, and restrooms, and upgrades to mechanical and elevator systems. Interstate North Office Park is currently 60% leased, and Rubenstein believes the portfolio offers significant potential upside through repositioning and lease-up.
“We believe Interstate North is a compelling value-added investment opportunity,” said Taylor Smith, Regional Director of Southeast for Rubenstein. “We consider this to be an extraordinarily well-located office asset with excellent accessibility. We expect this submarket to draw even more demand as SunTrust Park opens and delivers new, high-quality amenities to the area. As we roll out our improvement plan in the coming months, we think we’ll be well-positioned to lease up the Property and unlock its highest value.”
A Cushman & Wakefield team led by Caroline Nolen and Andy Sumlin has been selected by Rubenstein to handle leasing and management of Interstate North.
