(NYSE: PKY) announced today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Corporate Center I, II and III at International Plaza, located in the Westshore submarket of Tampa, Florida, for a gross purchase price of $238 million. As of December 1, 2014, and adjusted for known near-term move-outs, occupancy at the three Corporate Center assets was 71%.

"The completion of the Corporate Center acquisition reinforces our track record of creative deal structuring and further enhances our scale within Westshore, the top-performing submarket in Tampa," stated James R. Heistand, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parkway. "These three assets represent approximately one million square feet of high-quality, value-add office product located in a core submarket where our existing portfolio is currently approximately 96% leased."
In connection with the closing of the Corporate Center acquisition, Parkway completed the previously announced purchase and subsequent sale of 19 additional office properties located in six states totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet. Parkway sold these 19 office assets, which were not consistent with Parkway's current investment strategy, for a gross sale price of $237 million.
