Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On April 22, 2004, we completed the acquisition of a 1.3 million net rentable square foot class “AA” office building (“Cityplace Office Property”) and an adjacent land parcel located in Dallas, Texas. The Cityplace Office Property and the adjacent land parcel were purchased from an unrelated third party for approximately $124.0 million which was funded primarily with borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

On May 12, 2004, Prentiss Office Investors, L.P., completed the acquisition of a 69,000 net rentable square foot class “A” office building (“The Bluffs Office Property”) located in San Diego, California. The Bluffs Office Property was purchased from an unrelated third party for approximately $17.7 million. Prentiss Office Investors, L.P. is owned 51% by our operating partnership, Prentiss Properties Acquisition Partners, L.P., and its affiliates and 49% by Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP. Each partner contributed their pro rata share of the purchase price of the property to Prentiss Office Investors, L.P. for the acquisition. Amounts contributed from the operating partnership were funded with proceeds from our revolving credit facility.

 

On May 25, 2004, we completed the acquisition of a 306,000 net rentable square foot class “A” three building office complex (“Great America Parkway Office Properties”) and an adjacent land parcel located in Santa Clara, California. The Great America Parkway Office Properties and the adjacent land parcel were purchased from an unrelated third party for approximately $34.8 million which was funded primarily with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The property was 100% vacant upon acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition, we executed a lease with a third party, unrelated to the seller, for approximately 219,000 net rentable square feet, or approximately 72% of the property.

 

On October 8, 2004, we completed the acquisition of a 459,000 net rentable square foot class “A” office building (“2101 Webster Office Property”) located in Oakland, California.
