TYSONS: MRP Realty and Rockpoint Group Acquire Westwood Metro Tower

MRP Realty, developers of commercial, residential and mixed-use real estate across the Mid-Atlantic region, and Rockpoint Group, L.L.C., a real estate private equity firm, today announced the acquisition of Westwood Metro Tower at 8614 Westwood Center Drive in Tysons, Va.

Westwood Metro Tower, a 210,087-square-foot office building located adjacent to the Spring Hill Metro station, has a diverse tenant base including its largest tenants Washington Gas Energy Services and architecture firm Davis Carter Scott (DCS). The property offers the conveniences actively sought after by today’s tenants: Metro and road transportation access, an efficient building with modern finishes, above market parking ratio, and immediate proximity to a robust collection of walk-able retail options.

“This acquisition continues a successful partnership between MRP and Rockpoint Group, focused on identifying buildings that are well positioned to serve the needs of today’s workforce,” said Christopher White, senior vice president of acquisitions at MRP. “The partnership plans to activate the property’s extensive outdoor space, as well as add to the building’s existing amenities, which include a fitness center and conference facility. The goal is to position the building to be unique in the Tysons market and to enhance and redefine the tenant experience.”
