Richmond, Va.—Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer’s Capital Markets Group recently announced it has facilitated, on behalf of owner Gramercy Realty, the sale of the Bank of America Center in Richmond.

At the time of sale, the occupancy rate was 71 percent. Major tenants include Bank of America, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia Resources Authority, and three law firms—McCandlish Holton, DuretteCrump, and Sands Anderson. According to the Virginia Business, former owner Gramercy Realty invested more than $10 million into the property’s redevelopment since its previous sale in 2011.
