The sale comes on the heels of CP Group’s notable office purchases. Earlier this month, in Atlanta, the firm purchased the landmark One CNN Center, which housed the news network’s headquarters. In June, the group, along with two other partners, bought Miami’s 38-story One Biscayne Tower for $225 million.
At Boca Raton-based CP Group, one of the largest office building owners in Florida, there hasn’t been a significant trend of tenants downsizing due to remote work, Managing Partner Angelo Bianco said.
