"We believe 22 West Washington is a perfect example of the kind of high quality core office property that is going to provide a stable cash return over the long-term for our investors. The low risk profile of this Class A property contributes to the attractive risk-adjusted return and fits in nicely with our broader strategy in the current market environment,"
