First Potomac Realty Trust and Perseus Realty L.L.C. purchased the Greyhound Bus Terminal site at 1005 First St., N.E., in Washington, D.C., for approximately $46.8 million. The joint venture plans to develop 712,000 square feet of Class A LEED-certified office buildings on the 1.6-acre site in the North of Massachusetts Avenue submarket once Greyhound relocates its operations to Union Station. According to a press release, FirstGroup PLC, Greyhound’s parent company, signed a 10-year triple-net lease with the right to terminate after two years. The company will continue to use the site as a bus terminal until Greyhound relocates. First Potomac provided 97 percent of the equity in the transaction, while Perseus Realty contributed with the remaining 3 percent. Of the total purchase price, $38.4 million was paid at closing and $8.4 million is due to be paid in August 2013.<\/p>\n
