The Deal Sheet

We learned Monday that Cornerstone purchased The Park at Windward Concourse—two Class-A offices totaling 202k SF off Windward Parkway in Alpharetta. (Buying two offices is the best way to avoid making one jealous.)

ATL1
The seller was Allegiance Realty. This is the  second major asset that Hartford-based Cornerstone has bought in recent months in the area. In March, we reported the company purchased Preston Ridge I and Windward Fairways I and II from Invesco  for $47M. The price of the latest purchase wasn't disclosed. Cushman & Wakefield's David Meline, Stewart Calhoun, Samir Idris,  and  Casey Masters brokered the sale.
