JLL closes sale of office building in Northern Virginia

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 31, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of 2941 Fairview Park Drive, an iconic 367,349-square-foot, trophy office building prominently located in one of the region’s only inside-the-beltway corporate office parks, Fairview Park in Falls Church, Virginia. 

JLL represented the seller and procured the buyer, an affiliate of Menlo Equities.

2941 Fairview Park Drive is 94% leased with an average remaining lease term of eight plus years and boasts a strong credit tenant roster anchored by multiple Fortune 500 companies, including the headquarters for a leading global international, defense and aerospace company. The 15-story building offers tenants 9’-12’ finished ceilings, state-of-the-art systems and a robust amenity package that includes a signature restaurant, an upgraded fitness center, a farm-to-table café and abundant parking. 

The property benefits from being the only office building within walking distance of the federal government headquarters for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) and is easily accessible by car, located within one mile of Interstate 495 and Routes 50 and 29. An additional five million square feet of amenities, including the Mosaic District and Tysons Corner Mall, is accessible within a 10-minute drive. 

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Bill Prutting.

“The proven strategy of acquiring a trophy-quality asset with strong credit tenants at a price below replacement cost in a fundamentally strong market and location, is timeless,” noted Prutting.

“Menlo Equities’ acquisition of 2941 Fairview Park Drive reaffirms our firm’s continued commitment to buy best-in-class assets in fundamentally strong, technology-driven markets that feature proven credit tenant demand,” noted Rick Holmstrom, Founder and Managing Partner of Menlo Equities.
