WASHINGTON, DC—Deals that have been languishing in negotiations or otherwise held up are being rushed through as everyone seeks to close the books on 2015. Exhibit A is 1333 H St., NW, a deal we asked MRP Realty about weeks when we heard rumors that it was under contract. MRP declined to comment at the time. The building has officially traded now to TA Realty for $162.5 million, according to the Washington Business Journal.
