Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) today announced the closing of

per square foot, will serve as a consolidated public safety
headquarters.
“This transaction is consistent with our capital
recycling and portfolio management objectives. This sale both
strengthens our balance sheet and positions us to seize
high-quality, strategic investment opportunities,” said Jerry
Sweeney, President & CEO of Brandywine Realty Trust. “At the
same time, we remain deeply committed to Austin, exemplified by our
development of 405 Colorado and Uptown ATX, our 66-acre
master-planned development that is a cornerstone of Austin’s
emerging second downtown.”
The Barton Skyway office park, situated on 35
acres in Southwest Austin, comprises four office buildings.

one of the nation’s most vibrant and rapidly growing metropolitan

GDP growth, and population expansion. With a year-over-year job
growth of 2%, or 27,000 jobs, and a projected population of 2.8
