NYSTRS & Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund Put Monarch Centre on Block

The New York State Teachers' Retirement System, along with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, has put Monarch Centre on the market for an undisclosed sum, sources tell us.

Occupancy is 90% and 86%, respectively, according to CoStar. While rents for the vacant space, per the CoStar report, are hovering in the high $20/SF to low $30/SF range, that's a discount compared to other Class-A trophy asking rents along Peachtree Road in Buckhead, and could prove a possible value-add play for potential buyers. Especially since the complex is connected to the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead hotel, popular both with traveling business execs and as a corporate meeting location. The owners purchased the complex in 1997 for nearly $165M, or $184/SF, according to Databank.
