"This was a really quick deal, completed in just two months," said James Wilson, a principal at Lee & Associates. "Not only is the building in a great location and fully leased, but the rents were set below the market rate. Our client now has the opportunity to reposition the building and increase its value."

The building is 100 percent leased, Lee & Associates said, with talent and literary agency Innovative Artists as the main tenant, though it's headquartered elsewhere. A small division of the agency rents one floor in this building.
