VANCOUVER, Dec. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- City Office
REIT, Inc. (NYSE: CIO) ("City Office" or the "Company") announced
today that it has closed the acquisition of The Terraces, a premier
office building in a top submarket of Dallas, Texas, for a gross purchase price of
$133.5 million, exclusive of closing
costs.
The 173,000 square foot LEED Gold property is the newest office
building in an exceptional location. The Terraces is situated
in the highly desirable Preston Center submarket, known for its
walkability, concentration of high-end retail and fine dining and
close proximity to Dallas' most
prestigious residential neighborhoods. The building was
delivered in 2017 with a full suite of amenities, including a
state-of-the-art fitness center, rooftop deck, barista,
full-service deli and a conference facility. The property's
tiered building structure creates multiple outdoor terraces for
exclusive tenant use. The Terraces is 99% leased to a diverse
tenant base, with a weighted average lease term remaining of
approximately 8 years.
"Expanding in Dallas' strongest
and highest barrier to entry markets has been a priority,"
commented James Farrar, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The acquisition of The
Terraces in Preston Center aligns with our focus on acquiring
superior properties with long-term cash flow in the most desirable
submarkets. The amenity package, high-end tenant suites and
prime location make The Terraces one of Dallas' top office properties. The fully
leased building provides cash flow stability with future growth in
the center of one of Texas'
wealthiest neighborhoods."
