For Immediate Release

Clarion Partners, a leading real estate investment manager, today announced the acquisition of 10 Brookline Place in Brookline, MA for $121.0 million. The six-story, 173,439 square foot office building serves as the southwest gateway to the Longwood Medical and Academic (LMA) area of Boston. Clarion purchased 10 Brookline Place from Invesco Real Estate; the sale was handled by Eastdil Secured.

The property is fully leased to tenants in education and healthcare, sectors identified by Clarion Partners’ research as robust segments of today’s economy. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, widely regarded as one of the best cancer treatment centers in the United States, is the building’s anchor tenant; Dana-Farber has occupied space in 10 Brookline Place since 2001.The balance of the space is leased to The New England Institute of Art, a subsidiary of Education Management Corporation.

“Ten Brookline Place is very well located in a strong infill location and the LMA currently has an overall vacancy rate under 2%,” stated Gary Rufrano, a Director of Clarion Partners.

Over the last 15 years, the property has maintained an average occupancy rate of 99.1%, thanks in part to the amenities of the area. A number of restaurants and coffee shops are located just north of the building, while covered parking and easy access to several modes of public transportation are readily available.
