The buyer was assisted by HFF in securing the fixed-rate acquisition loan through JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis offering represented an exceptional opportunity to acquire a value-add, institutional quality, Class A office building in a highly sought after submarket,\u201d Jim Meisel, HFF\u201ds senior managing director, said in a company statement. \u201cWe anticipate continued rental rate growth and increased leasing activity in Bethesda, which has historically been one of Washington, D.C.\u2019s strongest and most stable markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located at 4520 East-West Highway at Waverly Street, the building, originally built in 1970, consists of 173,000 square feet, with 88,183 square feet of rentable space.<\/p>\n<p>The property sits just one block from the Bethesda Metrorail Station and is within close proximity to Woodmont Triangle\u2019s numerous restaurants and the retail offerings at Bethesda Row.<\/p>\n<p>According to Scheer Partners\u2019 Bethesda Office Market Report for 2015 Q1, office rental rates in the area are expected to stabilize throughout 2015, with forecasts that it should rise by the fourth quarter.
