HARBOR GROUP INTENATIONAL SELLS NATIONAL CITY CENTER IN INDIANAPOLIS

Harbor Group International (HGI) of Norfolk, Virginia has sold the 16-story, 625,000 square foot National City Center in Indianapolis, Indiana to HRPT Properties Trust, a real estate investment trust, or REIT, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HRP."

"National City Center was a landmark acquisition for HGI in 2001 and we had great success executing our investment strategy with such an outstanding asset," said Richard Litton, President of Harbor Group International. "The property boasts a high tenant satisfaction rate and truly lives up to its reputation as ‘the center of it all.’"

Built in 1977, the property was 96% occupied at the time of sale. Five major tenants occupy 85% of the building, including National City Bank’s Indiana headquarters, the Supreme Court of Indiana, and The Indiana Court of Appeals.

National City Center is situated on an entire city block in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. The property comprises twin towers connected by a 16-story glass atrium lobby, which is one of the largest enclosed spaces in the country. A Hyatt Regency Hotel with a revolving restaurant on its rooftop adjoins the property, but was not included in the acquisition.

Harbor Group International has been an aggressive acquirer of investment property since its creation in 1985. HGI’s other prominent central business district office properties include Dominion Tower in Norfolk, Virginia; State House Square in Hartford, Connecticut; PNC Center in Cincinnati, Ohio; One Enterprise Center in Jacksonville, Florida; and the Mercantile Bank & Trust Building and Wachovia Tower in Baltimore, Maryland.
