BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harbert United States Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (“HUSREF VI”), in conjunction with The Simpson Organization (“TSO”, jointly the “JV”), recently acquired 800 & 900 North Point Parkway (“800 & 900”) and 3905 Brookside Parkway (“3905”), three attractive office properties totaling approximately 380,000 SF in Alpharetta, in the North Fulton County submarket, northeast of Atlanta.
TSO and HUSREF VI closed on the portfolio on April 8, 2019, and intend to invest capital to both address deferred maintenance items as well as to update and improve the existing amenities while continuing to offer a compelling value to tenants. Planned improvements at 800 & 900 include updating the café, conference center and fitness center, as well as further activating the plaza and outdoor spaces. 3905 is currently vacant and the JV will implement an aggressive leasing strategy in order to stabilize the property.
