At the time of sale, the property was 95% leased, with data center tenants TierPoint and Crown Castle leasing 85% of the property’s rentable square footage with a weighted average lease term of well over 10 years. 

Petz said, “Lincoln transformed this asset from commodity multi-tenant flex space to an institutional quality data center asset over the course of their ownership.
