10 River Park Plaza sells in St. Paul
The 10 River Park Plaza in St. Paul has sold for the second time in two years.
The eight-story office building sits across the Mississippi River from downtown and has an occupancy rate around 90 percent with tenants such as Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Comcast.
New York-based Cohen Equities purchased the property last summer for more than $20 million at auction and then invested money to renovate the common areas of the building including the conference and fitness centers and lobby.
In this latest transaction, Cohen sold the building to Wisconsin-based SARA Investment Real Estate for nearly $43 million.
"From its high-quality tenants to its highly desirable location, 10 River Park Plaza will serve as a great addition to our growing portfolio in the Twin Cities region," said Traci Dalsin, president of SARA, in a statement. "Its iconic views and recognizable facade are a testament to the level of care provided by its previous owner; providing a strong asset for our investment partners and an accurate representation of the caliber of properties we pursue."
Colliers International marketed the property.
