The approximately 400,000-square-foot office building in Parsippany, N.J., changed hands for $66 million.&nbsp;At the time of sale, the building was 78 percent leased.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe property was owned by a large insurance company that maintained it to a trophy quality level,\u201d <\/em>Kevin O\u2019Hearn, HFF\u2019s senior managing director, told<em> Commercial Property Executive. \u201cIt also has a strong tenant roster with ample lease term and one of the best locations in the submarket.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The asset, constructed in 2001, is part of a four-building, 850,000-square-foot office park called The Center of Morris County.<\/p>\n<h2>A changing landscape<\/h2>\n<p>State Farm had been the sole tenant until it started to phase out in 2013 and fully renovated the building to allow for multi-tenancy.&nbsp;Today, it is home to a tenant roster that includes FM Global, Fiserv, Langan Engineering and Western World Insurance.<\/p>\n<p>The five-story building is LEED Silver certified and boasts a conference center, fitness center with locker rooms, a full-service cafeteria, an atrium lobby and its own walking trail. There\u2019s also covered parking.<\/p>\n<p>A one-time recipient of BOMA Building of the Year, the property is situated on 9.3 acres at the intersection of two interstate highways (80 and 287) and offers strong visibility along Interstate 80. It\u2019s also part of one of the region\u2019s top office parks.<\/p>\n<p>According to O\u2019Hearn, there was strong interest from private equity advisors and private individuals.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThe property, originally occupied entirely by the seller, had been stabilized enough to be attractive to value add buyers that wanted a little vacancy left to achieve some upside<\/em>,\u201d he said.<em> \u201cThe leasing market was also getting stronger for trophy\/Class A product.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>HFF represented the seller in the transaction, while Transwestern Investment Group negotiated the deal on behalf of the buyer.
