PM REALTY GROUP NEGOTIATES SALE OF PARK
CENTRAL PLAZA IN HOUSTON

Houston, Texas– On behalf of its client, Telephone Real Estate Equity Trust, PM Realty Group’s Investment Services division today announced that it has successfully negotiated the sale of Park Central Plaza, a Class B+ office building, to BGK Equities II LLC, a private investment firm headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico. John S. Dailey, senior vice president of PM Realty Group’s Investment Services Division, was the sole broker in the transaction.

Located at 1111 North Loop West in Houston, Park Central Plaza is an 11-story office building consisting of 181,671 square feet of space and is currently 95 percent occupied. Prior to marketing the building for sale, PM Realty Group improved the building’s value through a targeted lease-up and capital improvement program. In step with the building’s marketing campaign, this value-enhancement strategy resulted in an excellent sale price for the owner. “This transaction exemplifies our ability to provide a complete range of real estate services for our clients -- from lease-up to capital improvements through disposition,” said Dailey. “With outstanding operating efficiency and tenant service in place, we were able to achieve both the buyer and sellers’ objectives for the property. This deal is a win-win situation for everyone”
