The transaction marks the second half of a larger deal involving the Scottsdale Promenade here, for a total consideration of $166 million, according to a recent company release.

The office space in question is comprised of four class A buildings that cover 256,176 square feet and a three-level, 800-space parking structure. The property spans four acres and encompasses one million square feet in total. During the third quarter of 2011, the retail portion of the package was purchased for $110 million again by Excel Trust of San Diego. The Scottsdale Promenade – the other component of the total sale – is a one-million-square-foot mixed-use project, says the same statement.

Within this, the retail property contains 730,000 square feet of GLA, which is anchored by stores including Lowe’s Home Improvement, the Great Indoors, Nordstrom Rack, Office Max, PetSmart and Old Navy.

Of the deal finalization, Mark Lucescu, president of Lucescu Realty, says in a statement, “Scottsdale Promenade will be a flagship property for Excel Trust. It is one of the most well-known properties in the Phoenix MSA and amongst the most successful mixed-use projects in the western United States."
