Kidder Mathews Senior Vice President Erik Marsh represented the buyer in the deal, which closed on Dec. 15.
The office building is surrounded by amenities, including Kierland Commons and the Scottsdale Quarter, new apartment buildings, Westin Kierland Resort, and the AC Hotel.
“This speaks to the high demand for office space in this submarket,” Marsh said in a statement. “Office fundamentals in the Phoenix market are strong with the removal of Covid-19 restrictions. Tenants are comfortable committing to longer leases again, making office properties an attractive investment. The Kierland office submarket is outperforming the overall Phoenix MSA with lower vacancy and increased rent growth.”
