In aggregate, the properties total 1.0 million square feet and were approximately 84% occupied at March 31, 2015.

    • The company completed the sale of three office buildings in mid-April, 10770 Wateridge Circle and 6200 and 6220 Greenwich Drive, for $95.0 million in gross proceeds.
    • The company expects to complete the sale of the second tranche for $163.0 million later in the second quarter. The six office buildings in this tranche include 6260, 6290, 6310, 6340, and 6350 Sequence Drive and 4921 Directors Place.
  • Separately, in late-April, the company completed the sale of 15050 NE 36th Street in Redmond, Washington for gross proceeds of $51.2 million.
