Terms of the lease are undisclosed. The average asking rental rate for office space east of Broad Street is $21.68 per sf, according to second-quarter data from Cushman & Wakefield's local office, while Trammel Crow Co.'s area office reports an asking average of $21.84 per sf throughout the CBD. However, brokers tell GlobeSt.com the asking average in the Independence Mall submarket is lower than for properties closer to Broad and also point out that intense competition in the CBD is taking effective rates closer to the $18-per-sf range.
