EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Dec. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Griffin Capital Corporation (“Griffin Capital”) announced today, on behalf of Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT II, Inc. (the “REIT”), the acquisition of a Class “A”, three-story, 125,735 square-foot office facility (the “Property”) fully leased to Zoetis Services LLC (“Tenant”) and guaranteed by the Tenant’s parent company, Zoetis Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:ZTS) from Normandy Real Estate Partners and Partners Group (“Seller”). The Property was originally constructed in 1984, but the Seller commenced a complete demolition and renovation after signing a lease in July 2015 with the Tenant for its global headquarters. The REIT purchased the Property for $44.0 million from Normandy Real Estate Partners and Partners Group.

Commenting on the acquisition, Louis Sohn, Griffin Capital’s Director of Acquisitions said, “We are pleased to further expand our footprint in the growing New Jersey market and acquire this Class “A” property located in the premier Mack-Cali Business Campus.  The addition of this property to our growing portfolio of high quality assets further positions the REIT to create shareholder value over the long term.”

Michael Escalante, Griffin Capital’s Chief Investment Officer and President of the REIT, added, “With the business essential nature of the operations on-site, investment grade tenancy, annual rental rate escalations, institutional quality asset, and long-term lease duration, this transaction captures the majority of the salient acquisition criteria that we target for the REIT.  This acquisition also marks a significant milestone for Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT II, Inc., elevating the REIT’s total capitalization above $1 billion.”

The Property is located within the Mack-Cali Business Campus near Interstate 80 and Interstate 287, which are two of New Jersey’s main highways.

Jose Cruz and Kevin O’Hearn of HFF represented the Seller of the Property.
