FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, December 23, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Moore & Associates is pleased to announce the acquisition of Williams Plaza I & II, a two-building, 271,736 square foot office property in Fairfax, VA in a joint venture with Harbert United State Real Estate Fund VII, LP.

The property, currently 73% leased, is adjacent to Merrifield’s Mosaic District, the region’s preeminent mixed-use development which features over 500,000 square feet of retail and restaurants and over 1,000 apartments and townhomes across 32 acres, as well as nearby access to the Dunn-Loring Metrorail Station.

“We are excited for the opportunity to reposition the asset through a significant capital investment program and lease-up,” Moore & Associates Senior VP Peter Doherty said. “Once completed, we will be able to offer tenants a superior environment at an attractive price coupled with convenient access to the Mosaic District, Route 50, and the Capital Beltway.”

“Williams Plaza is a perfect fit for our platform” Moore & Associates VP Joe Moore said. “we are fortunate to have an experienced, hands-on team capable of unlocking value at every level, from first class property management and leasing to the execution of a thoughtful capital plan that will enhance tenant experience and help the asset realize its potential.”

Gerry Trainor at Transwestern brokered the sale, which was widely marketed in August.
