LOS ANGELES - February 6, 2020 - CIM Group announced today that CCIT II, a publicly registered non-listed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) sponsored by affiliates of CIM Group, has completed the acquisition of a five-story, approximately 132,000-square-foot office building located on approximately 7.4 acres at 40 Wight Avenue in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Built in 2017, the LEED Gold designated building serves as the corporate headquarters for a regional engineering and design firm and was acquired for $39,100,000, exclusive of closing costs.
The Hunt Valley area is located 17 miles north of Baltimore’s Central Business District. The property is easily accessible from the I-83 and Hwy 45, the two major north-south thoroughfares in the Baltimore region. The Baltimore Light Rail system has three light rail stops within close proximity to the property.
The acquisition of 40 Wight Avenue follows the recent announcement of the CCIT II acquisition of four office buildings acquired over a 30-day period, which added approximately 519,000 square feet of single-tenant net-leased assets to the CCIT II portfolio.
CCIT II focuses on office and industrial properties that are essential to the daily operations of businesses, including corporate or regional headquarters, regional distribution centers, and warehouses situated near major shipping and freight transport facilities. CCIT II is actively acquiring properties with long-term net leases with creditworthy tenants. These recent acquisitions are additions to the CCIT II portfolio, which consists of 2.9 million* square feet of office and industrial properties in diverse markets throughout the country.
*Square footage amounts are approximate as of September 30, 2019, and include square footage of buildings that are on land subject to ground leases. This amount does not include the 519,000 square feet announced on January 22, 2020 nor 40 Wight Avenue.
