History
Construction on the building was completed in December 2009.[2] The building was facing serious occupancy issues, with the pre-lease rate remaining at around 25%[7] but rates subsequently increased, especially with the largely publicized lease announcement of Goldman Sachs.[8][9] The building eventually became fully occupied.[10]
In February 2014, the property's original owners (and current building manager), Hamilton Partners, sold the building to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III (KBS) for $170.5 million (equivalent to $219.44 million in 2023) in "a record-setting deal for commercial real estate in Utah's capital city, on a cost per-square footage basis." At the time of purchase, KBS already owned the Parkside Tower and Gateway Tech Center in Salt Lake City.[9]
