Maguire Properties Announces Disposition of Orange County Office Building
Maguire Properties, Inc. (NYSE:MPG), a Southern California focused real
estate investment trust, today announced that it has entered into an
agreement to dispose of 18301 Von Karman, an 11-story office tower
totaling 230,605 square feet in Irvine, California. The total value of
the property is approximately $112.0 million and the disposition is
expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007.
The agreement is being entered into with The Hearn Company founded in
1974 as a privately held entrepreneurial real estate firm whose core
business is the development, management, and ownership of institutional
grade commercial office property predominantly in the central and
southwest United States.
Mr. Robert F. Maguire III, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "This transaction demonstrates our
commitment to our stated objective of disposing of certain properties
and using a portion of the net proceeds to reduce our leverage. We are
pleased with both the terms and timing of this disposition. We believe
the attractive property financing secured at the time we acquired a
portfolio of assets from Blackstone/EOP is enormously beneficial to our
disposition program. The rates we secured simply cannot be duplicated in
today’s market environment. Finally, we remain
focused on reducing our debt levels to accomplish our balance sheet
objectives.” About Maguire Properties, Inc.
