The partnership was managed by Carr Properties, which has been retained by the new owner to provide property management services.<\/p>\n<p>ASAE confirmed the sale but the amount it will receive from the disposition was not available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen one of the partners in the building wanted to sell their share, ASAE approached the Board of Directors and they approved ASAE to move forward with selling our limited partnership,\u201d John Graham, ASAE president &amp; CEO, said in a prepared statement. \u201cAfter closing costs, taxes and other expenses are finalized, ASAE will work with the Board of Directors to determine how to best invest the monies received into our programs, products and services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ASAE\u2019s lease was extended to 2025 as part of the sale. Tom Fulcher and Arthur Greenberg, executive vice presidents at Savills Studley, represented ASAE on the lease extension.<\/p>\n<p>Cushman &amp; Wakefield Vice Chairmen Bill Collins and Paul Collins and Executive Managing Directors Drew Flood, Jud Ryan and James Cassidy brokered the deal for the seller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the strong location a block from the White House and abundant amenity base, this building was popular amongst potential buyers,\u201d Flood said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ASAE, the building\u2019s other main tenants are the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal Aviation Administration. On-site amenities include a conference center, rooftop terrace, newly renovated and expanded fitness center, parking garage and deli. Located next to the McPherson Square Metro station, it is surrounded by numerous restaurants and hotels, including the Hay Adams, St. Regis, Capital Hilton and Hyatt Place.<\/p>\n<p>Carr Properties had retained DTZ, which is now part of Cushman &amp; Wakefield, earlier this year to begin marketing the property.<\/p>\n<p>The Al Thani ruling family has made other large commercial real estate purchases elsewhere this year. In March, Duwaliya UK Real Estate Holdings purchased a 150-year leasehold interest in a 90,000-square-foot office building in London for the equivalent of about $110 million.<\/p>\n<p>Qatari entities have been active in Washington, D.C. real estate in recent years with the Qatar Foundation International, L.L.C. becoming a tenant at CityCenter DC, the 10-acre, mixed-use development, where Qatari Diar Real Estate Co., Qatar\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, is one of the main investors.
