The Houston and New York offices of HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) announced today that they have been named to market for sale Hock Plaza I at Duke University, a 327,162-square-foot Class A office building in Durham, North Carolina.
HFF senior managing directors Jeff Hollinden, Glenn Whitmore and Andrew Scandalios, along with associate director Barbara Guffey, will lead the investment sales team on behalf of the seller, Brickman. The property is being offered for sale without a formal asking price and is subject to in-place assumable financing. HFF arranged the prior sale of Hock Plaza I to Brickman in 2005.
Completed in 2004, Hock Plaza I has 12 floors of office space plus an attached 1,100-space parking garage. The property is 98.4%
occupied under long-term leases by Duke University and Duke University Healthcare Systems. The 2.5-acre site is located at 2424 Erwin Road immediately adjacent to the Duke University campus and the “world-renowned” Duke Medical Center.
“Hock Plaza I is an asset of exceptional quality with a stable income stream backed by Duke University and its affiliated healthcare system,” said Hollinden. “The immediate proximity to Duke’s campus and medical center make this a truly irreplaceable location as well.”
“This is arguably one of the top office buildings on the market in the country at this time,” added Whitmore. “Core investors today are seeking Class A quality, investment grade credit and long term leases – this asset offers all of those attributes plus very attractive assumable financing.”
