Penzance Powers Up

You might think of Penzance as a DC-Rosslyn owner, but not anymore: the firm picked up two Reston office buildings last week. And the firm might not be done with the dealmaking.

Co-founder Victor Tolkan's crew just ventured out on the Toll Road, purchasing two properties on Sunset Hills Road (known together as Sunset Corporate Center--and the buildings rarely go anywhere without each other) from Piedmont Office Realty Trust last week for $22.6M.

The building (left), along with next-door neighbor (and fully available) 3001 Washington Blvd, is set to deliver any day now, Matt says. JLL is handling leasing for the fully available 3001 Washington. 3003 Washington (left) is all leased up, too, as nonprofit CNA will take 175k SF and the Common Application will take the remainder of the space (which was the top floor).

(Mental note: Possible location for our Presidential campaign.) Transwestern repped Piedmont in the sale.
