"The Philadelphia metro area is a very strategic marketplace for us," says Thomas Ashforth, vice president of acquisitions for firm. "It has a tremendously diverse business base, a great international airport, a good transportation system, good quality of life and a great education base with universities like University of Pennsylvania, Temple and Drexel."
Last month, Ashforth announced plans to invest in cities such as: Boston, Seattle, San Diego, Cincinnati and Columbus, OH, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, NC, Tampa, FL., Sacramento, CA, Indianapolis, and northern New Jersey.
"We believe the purchase of the Valley Forge Office complex provides an excellent cornerstone for the expansion of our investment strategy," says James Korinek, chief investment officer for Ashforth. He says that the company expects to make further investments in the area, adding that, "the Philadelphia region is under-valued relative to major markets in the United States."
