Thomas Properties Group Announces Sale of Centerpointe I & II in Fairfax, Virginia
LOS ANGELES - December 20, 2011 - Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: TPGI) announced today that its affiliate, TPG/CalSTRS, LLC, has completed the sale of the 421,859 square foot property known as Centerpointe I & II in Fairfax, Virginia to a joint venture between Carr Properties and an institutional investment partner. The gross sale price was $128.7 million and the purchaser was credited with cash proceeds of $3.0 million to fund certain post-closing capital improvements. TPGI received net proceeds from the sale after debt repayment and closing costs of approximately $5.3 million.
“Our strategic plan announced earlier this year includes pruning selected properties and reinvesting proceeds from those sales in properties with repositioning opportunities and/or greater internal growth,” said Jim Thomas, Chairman and CEO. This quarter's sales of Centerpointe I & II, 2500 CityWest Boulevard with adjacent land in Houston and a parcel of land in El Segundo have generated a combined $25.5 million in net proceeds to the company and demonstrate continued momentum in the execution of our plan. We are currently pursuing very attractive opportunities for the reinvestment of these proceeds.”
