Thursday, January 03, 2002 - New York, NY - Sonnenblick-Goldman Company, acting as exclusive financial advisor to Seaton Benkowski & Partners, Akridge Real Estate Services, and EdwardsDay Property Investments, has arranged $15 million of financing for the acquisition of 1100 15th Street, N.W., a class-A office building in the downtown business district of Washington, D.C. The 20-year first mortgage was provided by a California-based pension fund.

Built in 1982, the 12-story, 136,893 square-foot, institutional quality office building is 100% leased to several quality tenants, including The Washington Post Company, Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America, Allegiance Telecom, and the Washington Baltimore Newspaper Guild. The property is subject to a 39-year ground lease.
