Preferred Office Properties will be retaining Lincoln Harris for leasing and property management at Capitol Towers. Campbell Walker and Sara Hogan will continue to lease the property for the Lincoln Harris team.

The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller consisted of senior managing director Ryan Clutter, senior director Scot Humphrey, director Chris Lingerfelt and director Zack Drozda.

“Capitol Towers was a sought-after investment opportunity drawing significant interest from numerous institutional investors as well as foreign capital sources,” Clutter commented. “The high quality of the real estate, coupled with the exceptional credit and lease term in the rent roll, was very appealing to investors.”
