Piedmont Office Realty Trust is looking to sell Two Independence Square, the 606k SF building that houses NASA's HQ.

Piedmont values the property at $314M on its balance sheet, but the GSA's $29.2M annual lease until 2028 gives it cash-flow value sure to be attractive to the myriad active foreign investors in DC CRE.
