DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

TIER REIT, Inc. (NYSE: TIER), a Dallas-based real estate investment trust, today announced the sale of Eisenhower I, a 130,000 square foot office building located in Tampa’s Westshore business district. The property was sold today to an unrelated third party for $31.4 million, with an incentive to earn up to an additional $3.0 million subject to certain future events.

“Consistent with our strategic plan, this is the Company’s third exit from a non-target market this year, resulting in gross aggregate disposition proceeds of approximately $300 million following our announced sales of Buena Vista Plaza, Wanamaker, and Three Parkway earlier this year,” stated Scott Fordham, President and Chief Executive Officer of TIER REIT. “The Company continues to pursue opportunities to recycle this capital into prudent acquisitions and strategic development within our target growth markets.”
