Donohoe Cos. has teamed up with USAA Real Estate to acquire the Downtown Bethesda office building where the company recently moved its headquarters.

The JV has acquired 7101 Wisconsin Ave., a 230K SF office building in Bethesda, from a JV of Brandywine Realty Trust and Allstate Investments, Donohoe announced Thursday. HFF brokered the deal.

The building sold for a price of $105.7M, or roughly $458/SF, as first reported by the Washington Business Journal and confirmed by a Donohoe spokesperson.
