WASHINGTON, DC-One Metro Center--aka the area's metro hub—has traded for $307.5 million. Jamestown is the buyer of the property, which is being sold by Clarion Partners.

Cassidy Turley's John Campanella and Paul Spellman arranged the floating-rate loan that financed the acquisition with a bank.

The 421,235-square foot building has some near term rollover, Cassidy says in a prepared statement. Jamestown, though, "recognized the long-term value of acquiring a Class A building physically linked to the central hub of the Metro," he adds. The property's fundamentals will improve as CityCenter takes shape.

Located at 701 13th Street, NW, the six-story One Metro Center is atop and adjacent to Macy's department store. It delivered in 2003 and features a 5,000-square-foot stone and glass atrium.
