Parkway Properties Inc. Analyst Notes    

On April 10, 2014, Parkway Properties Inc. (Parkway) announced that it has acquired Courvoisier Centre, a Class A office complex in Miami Florida. According to the Company, its purchase price for Courvoisier Centre was $145.8 million, or $422 per sq. ft., which was funded by using available cash and proceeds received from borrowings under Parkway's new seven-year, unsecured term loan. Parkway's President and CEO, James R. Heistand, stated, "The acquisition of Courvoisier Centre supports our strategy of acquiring best-in-class assets within the strongest submarkets across the Sunbelt. The buildings' high-end amenity base, along with available parking infrastructure and water views, makes Courvoisier Centre a highly desirable asset. Further, a heavy emphasis on multifamily development within the Brickell submarket has limited the amount of available supply of Class A office assets, which has enabled Brickell to achieve the highest rental rates in Miami."
