CBRE has arranged the $100 million sale of 24th at Camelback, a 302,209-square-foot Class A trophy office tower in metro Phoenix’s Camelback Corridor. This high-profile transaction represents the largest office sale in metro Phoenix so far in 2018, both by dollar volume and price per square foot. At the time of sale, the property was 94 percent leased to a prominent tenant roster, that includes Greenberg Traurig, AAA, RSM, Cisco Systems, USI and Regus.
Barry Gabel, Will Mast and Chris Marchildon with CBRE Capital Markets, Institutional Properties in Phoenix represented the seller, an affiliate of Houston based Hines in the transaction. Jim Fijan, with Fijan Advisors, acted as an advisor to the Seller. New York Life Real Estate Investors acquired the property. Hines, who developed the property in 2000 and has managed the asset since it was delivered, will continue to manage the property under its new ownership.
“This sale is a testament to the strength of the Phoenix market and its position as a prime office investment market,” said CBRE’s Gabel. “There is a long runway for growth here in Phoenix for investors.”
