NYSTRS & Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund Put Monarch Centre on Block

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.
