Boston Properties is buying the 392K SF Waltham Woods Corporate Center from New York-based Clarion Partners. The Class-A suburban office park consists of two buildings at 880 and 890 Winter St. The expected final price tag for the acquisition ranges between $105M and $107M, according to the Real Reporter.

The Waltham Woods acquisition is near Boston Properties’ 58-acre Bay Colony office park, which includes 1M SF of Class-A office across four buildings. Boston Properties paid $185M for that property in 2011.
