Avison Young completes $19.605 million sale of The Office Park at Water Tower Hill

Avison Young has completed the $19.605 million sale of The Office Park at Water Tower Hill, a 110,389 s/f, two building campus located at 354 & 356 Mountain View Dr. Avison Young represented the seller, FD Stonewater, and procured the buyer, Acabay, Inc. Steve Donahue of Donahue & Associates also assisted in the transaction. "The property was 95% leased at the time of the sale, demonstrating the desirability of the Park to the marketplace and giving the new owners the benefit of long term best in class tenants," said principal Scott Jamieson, who represented the seller. The Office Park at Water Tower Hill's largest tenants includes Competitive Computing, Inc., National Life Insurance Company, Fletcher Allen Healthcare, Vertek Corporation and USDA. "Since our acquisition in 2006 at a 72% occupancy level from the prior owner who was also represented by the Avison Young team, the properties were quickly stabilized and proved to be recession resistant during the financial crisis. The Avison Young team understood the intricacies of the market and asset story generating a competitive sale process resulting in the sale to Acabay, a truly elite investment and development firm," said Jeffrey Toporek of FD Stonewater.
