It is also being sold to the same buyer, a buyer whose identity has not yet been disclosed. Vornado Realty Trust has owned both buildings since 1998, when it purchased a 5.3 million-square-foot commercial real estate portfolio from the Kennedy family for approximately $625 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington office tower has nine floors and 420,000 square feet of space. Its amenities include a cafe, fitness center, print shop and bank. All tenants and visitors can park their cars in a\u00a0 four-level garage with 425 spaces. The first level of the garage also includes bike racks. The General Services Administration is its anchor tenants. It signed a 254,000-square-foot lease for the Small Business Administration this January.<\/p>\n<p>The sale of the 22-year-old Washington Office Center is subject to customary closing conditions.
