Bell said in a prepared statement the portfolio attracted interest from national and international investors who were drawn to the opportunities presented by the diverse properties with long-standing, credit tenants. Currently 97 percent occupied, the portfolio\u2019s other notable tenants include Regions Bank, Toyota Motor North America, Inc. and BAE Systems. Northrop Grumman\u2019s Space & Missions Systems is located at 301 Voyager Way NW in the Cummings Research Park. The four-story building has 110,275 square feet.<\/p>\n

Markwordt said in prepared remarks the city of Huntsville, which is known as a national center for space and defense technology firms, is seen as an emerging growth market<\/a> that has attracted the interest of major investors around the world. He noted the city has proven its ability to outperform competing markets and weather economic downturns due to its balanced and diverse economy. In addition to the space and defense technology firms, the city is home to more than 72 federal agencies, including the U.S. Army, FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and NASA\u2019s Marshall Space Flight Center. It also attracts telecommunications, biotechnology, manufacturing and automotive industries. Other major contractors located in Huntsville included Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and Airbus.<\/p>\n
