KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT Acquires West Loop I & II in City's Bellaire Submarket
(firmenpresse) - HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 12/12/12 -- KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT Inc. (KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT), a public non-traded real estate investment trust headquartered in Newport Beach, Calif., has closed on West Loop I & II, a 313,873 rentable square-foot office complex in Houston's Bellaire submarket. The acquisition gives the non-traded REIT its second Houston asset.
West Loop I & II is a two-building, multi-tenant office complex located on the east side of Loop 610, three miles west of Houston's central business district and equidistant from the mixed-use destinations of The Galleria and Greenway Plaza.
West Loop I is an eight-story building containing 169,536 rentable square feet, while West Loop II offers 144,337 rentable square feet in seven stories. The 5.6-acre property has benefited from nearly $4 million in recent capital improvements, including elevator and public space modernizations, and upgrades to the adjacent eight-story parking garage containing 982 spaces. A surface parking lot offers capacity for another 96 vehicles.
"West Loop I & II is a top-quality, strategically located asset for KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT," said Jeff Rader, vice president of KBS Capital Advisors. "It represents a significant addition to our portfolio in Houston, a city we believe will continue to outperform the rest of the country in the foreseeable future."
