SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2021 / Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQFT), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust, announced the sale of its Garden Gateway property, a three-building, 115,000 square foot office complex located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on February 19, 2021.

'The long-term lease that we recently executed with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) made this building a more attractive acquisition target for a buyer,' said Jack Heilbron, the company's President and Chief Executive Officer. 'We believe the timing is right to sell into this strong Colorado Springs market. We expect to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce our leverage and to add properties that fit our growth profile.'

'This sale demonstrates that we are able to execute on our business plan, even in the times of COVID-19. We have owned this property for several years, and effectively operated it and raised its occupancy, including leasing to the GSA to enhance the building's value,' said Gary Katz, the company's Senior Vice President of Asset Management.
