CBRE Brokers $133.5M Sale of Office Tower in Charlotte’s CBD

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — CBRE has arranged the sale of 400 South Tryon, a 33-story office tower in Charlotte’s central business district. Funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management LP acquired the property from DRA Advisors and Trinity Capital Advisors. The sales price was not disclosed, but the Charlotte Business Journal reports the building sold for $133.5 million — more than double the price the joint venture paid in 2014. Patrick Gildea, Matt Smith, Will Yowell, Justin Parsonnet and Jay O’Meara of CBRE arranged the transaction on behalf of DRA and Trinity Capital. CBRE’s Harris Ralston, Jeff Ackerman and Jonathan Rice arranged a floating-rate loan on behalf of Oaktree. 400 South Tryon underwent significant renovations during its prior ownership, including a modernized lobby, new restrooms, new fitness center and new street-level retail space. The building was 94.6 percent leased at the time of sale. Companies recently joining the tenant roster include Skillstorm, Document Technologies and Driven Brands.
