The JBG Cos has been looking to sell a 317k SF Georgetown office building since June to deleverage its portfolio ahead of a potential merger, and now just as it announces a huge merger, the developer has found a buyer for the property.

JBG is selling the Class-A office building at 1025 Thomas Jefferson St NW to Alduwaliya Asset Management for $141.8M, with HFF brokering the deal.
