WASHINGTON, D.C., June 1, 2021JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $113.5 million sale and financing of Dulles Executive Plaza, a two-building, Class A office complex totaling 384,336 square feet in Herndon, Virginia.

JLL represented the seller, a partnership between affiliates of Lionstone Investments and funds advised by Columbia Real Estate Management, a subsidiary of Columbia Property Trust, and procured the buyer, Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC. Additionally, JLL worked on behalf of Innovatus to secure acquisition financing.

Dulles Executive Plaza is located at 13530 and 13560 Dulles Technology Drive in the Innovation Center micro-market of Herndon. This submarket is rapidly becoming a transit-oriented, mixed-use environment with the opening of the Innovation Center Silver Line Metro Rail Station later this year, which will link the property to the broader D.C. region and continue to spur additional development.

Renovated and repositioned in 2019, Dulles Executive Plaza offers market leading on-site amenities, including a conference center, fitness facility, tenant lounge, and food service. The property is 94% leased to name brand government contractors such as Lockheed Martin and Constellis.

The JLL team representing the seller was led by Matt Nicholson, Jim Meisel, Andrew Weir and Dave  Baker.

JLL’s debt placement team leading the financing was led by Paul Spellman, Rob Carey and Susan Carras.
