B&B Alexandria Corporate Park, LLC purchased the property known as Alexandria Corporate Park located at 6315 Bren Mar Drive in Alexandria, Virginia (the “Property”) on June 5, 2008. Situated at the gateway location to the Springfield industrial/flex submarket in Fairfax County, the Property features a total of 271,730 square feet of rentable area which is 100% leased to a strong roster of tenants representing a diverse array of industries. Demand for flex space is driven by the Property’s extraordinary location, just 10 minutes from the Pentagon, at the confluence of the three major interstates in the Washington, DC region: I-95, the Capital Beltway (I-495), and I-395, affording easy ingress and egress to all points in the area for tenants and their clients.
Originally built in 1962 (with an addition in 1970), the building underwent a complete renovation in 2001 and 2002, at a cost of approximately $5.5 million. The asset was institutionally owned and maintained by First Potomac Realty from 2003 to June, 2008.
