NGKF Capital Markets represented ownership, an affiliate of Lexington Realty Trust, in the sale of 2000 Eastman Drive in Milford, Ohio for $32,750,000.

“We are thrilled to have represented an affiliate of Lexington Realty Trust in both the lease to Siemens as well as the sale of 2000 Eastman Drive,” said Altemuehle. “Combining our local office market knowledge along with the global marketing capabilities of the nationally top-performing Boston NGKF Capital Markets team, we were able to provide first-rate service to ownership for its largest asset in Cincinnati.”
“2000 Eastman boasts ‘best-in-park’ quality with a first-class physical plant in an attractive campus setting,” added Tribble.
2000 Eastman was sold to Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc., a publically-registered, non-listed company sponsored by Cole Capital® that focuses on investing in single-tenant, income-producing, necessity office and industrial properties, and which intends to qualify and elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust.
