GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO—KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, based in Newport Beach, CA, has acquired Village Center Station, a 10-story class A office development located in greater Denver's southeast region.

Built in 2009, Village Center Station is a 234,915-square-foot LEED Gold certified building directly connected to the Arapahoe at Village Center light rail stop. The property includes a number of restaurants and retailers, in addition to a 786-space parking structure.

“Village Center Station is one of the premier light rail served office projects in the Denver metroplex and is a perfect example of the  live, work, play environment that we've been trying to acquire across the country,” said KBS regional president Rodney Richerson.

Being adjacent to the Arapahoe at Village Center station provides tenants easy access to the building and area. Additionally, the property sits next to Interstate 25, offering tenants and visitors an easy commute to the many amenities of Greenwood Village.
