We are attracted by the supply-demand dynamics of the submarket, as well as the opportunity for a new development with uses that complement Class A office space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sale was the highest-priced \u00a0sale of an Atlanta office property ever, besting BentleyForbes\u2019 $436 million acquisition of Bank of America Plaza back in 2006. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cities\/atlanta\/bank-of-america-plaza-from-a-436m-purchase-to-a-235m-foreclosure\/1004051447.html\">Six years later, it went into foreclosure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Concourse Corporate Center also includes the recently renovated Westin Hotel and 85,000-square-foot-Concourse Athletic Club (not included in BLT\u2019s acquisition).<\/p>\n<p>According to Kuehner, BLT will invest in further enhancements of Concourse in order to reinforce and solidify the trophy site\u2019s reputation as the premier office project in the Perimeter submarket.\u00a0Renovations will include enhancements to lobbies and public spaces, restrooms, and other common areas, and additional capital for pre-built spec suites and tenant improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cKing and Queen\u201d buildings are currently 91 percent occupied.\u00a0 A surge in demand for Central Perimeter office space over the last two-and- a-half years drove investor interest in the property and its development site, which is zoned to accommodate dense retail, office and residential uses.<\/p>\n<p>According to Colliers International\u2019s Atlanta Q1 Office Market Report for 2015, the overall occupancy level for Atlanta\u2019s office market is at its highest point in six years and demand and supply fundamentals continue to benefit Atlanta\u2019s office landlords.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, limited development activity will continue pushing some asking rents to their highest levels ever in Atlanta\u2019s history and 2015 is poised to be one of Atlanta\u2019s strongest performing years for office.<\/p>\n<p>Boosted by the high-profile headquarters wins of Mercedes-Benz USA and State Farm Insurance Co., the Perimeter submarket today has the lowest vacancy rate of any major Atlanta submarket.<\/p>\n<p>Located at the northeast quadrant of the I-285\/Georgia 400 interchange, Concourse Corporate Center is in close proximity to numerous MARTA rail stations and offers an amenity-rich office park.<\/p>\n<p>Regent Partners will continue as leasing and managing agent of the property on behalf of BLT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building and Land Technology has taken part in the highest-priced sale of an Atlanta office property ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004118243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21783,21742,10,21747],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004118240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investment","category-latest","category-northeast","category-office"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Building &amp;
