BOSTON — Equus Capital Partners Ltd., a private equity fund manager, has sold 18 Tremont Street in Boston to an affiliate of DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners for $77.5 million ($384 per square foot). The 12-story, 202,033 square-foot office/retail property was 88 percent leased at the time of sale. Frank Petz and Matt Sherry of Jones Lang LaSalle’s Boston office represented the seller and buyer in the transaction. Equus acquired the property in 2007 on behalf of one of its value-add funds, BPG Investment Partnership VIII and VIIIA LP (a $550 million dollar equity fund), and has since worked to modernize the 100-year-old U-shaped building.
