Meridian, who acquired the office towers in 2013 from Science Applications International Corp., retained a minority interest and will continue to manage the asset. According to public records, the three towers traded for a total of $236.3 million.<\/p>\n<p>The property is located in Tysons, Va., roughly 40 miles west of downtown D.C., adjacent to the Greensboro metro station. The site, providing 1,602 parking spaces, offers easy access to interstates 495 and 66, along with roads 267, 7 and 123, being in close proximity to three large retail centers. Boro Station represents the gateway to The Boro, Meridian\u2019s upcoming mixed-use development, which will provide 4.2 million square feet of office, retail and entertainment amenities.<\/p>\n<h2>Recent renovations<\/h2>\n<p>Shortly after purchasing the ensemble, Meridian invested more than $60 million in the renovation and repositioning of Boro Station. The upgrades included the replacement of mechanical systems, renovation of the common areas, fitness center and lobbies. The property was also re-oriented towards the Metro station, with the addition of a new grand entrance. Additional amenities were included, such as a conference center, a two-story caf\u00e9 and a Starbucks.<\/p>\n<p>Eastdil Secured\u2019s team comprising Collins Ege, Nicolas Seidenberg, Sean McDermott, Bradley Allen and Axel Azcue represented Meridian.
