This closing helps American Finance Trust realize the goal of rebalancing its portfolio as this was the largest single owned asset.”

“The quality of the building, the amenities, and the workplace environment along with the creditworthiness of Sanofi attracted a deep buyer pool. Capital clearly understands that trophy buildings will continue to be in demand in our market,” added Neuer, executive vice president, CBRE.
