Thomas Properties Group Announces Sale of Brookhollow Central in Houston, Texas
LOS ANGELES - January 13, 2012 - Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: TPGI) announced today that its affiliate, TPG/CalSTRS, LLC, has completed the sale of the 806,004 square foot, three-building property known as Brookhollow Central in Houston, Texas. TPGI's share of the net proceeds from the sale is approximately $8 million after closing costs and repayment of mortgage debt.
“The sale of Brookhollow Central is another major step in executing our strategic plan of pruning our portfolio of certain non-strategic properties,” stated Jim Thomas, Chairman and CEO. “During our ownership, we completed a successful redevelopment and repositioning of the property, which included stabilizing the tenancy of the complex with a 220,000 square foot lease with anchor tenant Comerica Bank. We remain committed to the Houston market and continue to own approximately 2.5 million square feet in two premier trophy office properties, San Felipe Plaza and CityWestPlace.” This sale, when combined with the sales completed late in 2011, has brought the cumulative net proceeds to the company to approximately $33.5 million.
