Newmark announced today that BoundTrain Real Estate (BoundTrain) has acquired a two-building, 410,197-square-foot portfolio, located at 6400 and 6402 Arlington Boulevard for $38.1 million. Newmark Executive Managing Directors James Cassidy and Jud Ryan and Associate Cliff Cummings represented the seller, Falls Church Corporate Center LLC.
The value-add profile generated significant interest from the investment community, and new ownership’s plans will transform the asset,” said Newmark’s Ryan. “We are excited to sell BoundTrain its first acquisition in the Washington, DC metro area and feel they will be an excellent steward of this portfolio.”
6400 and 6402 come together as one of the most prominent office properties in the Falls Church market. The two 13-story office towers share 360-degree panoramic views of Northern Virginia. The portfolio is 73 percent leased by a diverse rent roll. Located within the Seven Corners commercial district, the asset is located one mile from I-66 and the East Falls Church Metro Station and benefits from 570,000 square feet of walkable retail amenities. Onsite tenant amenities include a fitness center located in the 6400 Arlington building and a conference center located on the 11th floor of the 6402 Arlington building.
“The 6400 and 6402 portfolio is the ideal asset for BoundTrain’s first acquisition offering tenants a unique high-value opportunity to enjoy trophy-class amenities in a prominent location,” said BoundTrain Founder and Managing Principal Michael Klein. “We look forward to being an owner and an occupant in the newly renovated building and look forward to developing strong relationships with each of our tenants,” added Klein, who founded BoundTrain in 2018.
“We’ve partnered with Newmark’s Jeff Tarae and Dominic Orcino to execute an aggressive leasing strategy in line with BoundTrain’s renovation plans and marketing initiatives for the buildings,” added Klein. The firm plans to complete renovations to the common indoor and outdoor areas and will introduce spec suites.
Newmark Managing Director Jeff Tarae, Associate Dominic Orcino and Brokerage Services Coordinator Nina Moses have been hired to lease the buildings with marketing efforts led by Regional DC Marketing Director, Alicia Karr. BoundTrain has retained Transwestern to manage the property.
