$38 MILLION OFFICE BUILDING PURCHASED

LINTHICUM, MD. — Corporate Office Properties Trust has purchased the newly completed 156,215-square-foot Nursery Corner from the Circuit Court of Arundel County, the building’s receiver, for $38 million. The property, located at 1550 W. Nursery Rd. in Linthicum, is fully leased by Northrup Grumman, who will move in later this month. Opus East was constructing the building when it went into receivership on June 30; the circuit court then engaged the help of third-party construction management and CB Richard Ellis to finish the building. Jonathan Beard of CB Richard Ellis’ Baltimore office and Jeffrey Ackerman and Ryan Sciullo of the firm’s Pittsburgh office represented the seller in the transaction.
