The office building, which opened in 2005, is appraised by the state of Maryland for tax purposes at $58.9 million.

It is the third office property in Maryland that Morning Calm has acquired. The company also has acquired office complexes in two Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., Greenbelt and Landover.

According to its website, Morning Calm is a vertically integrated real estate management company that owns and manages more than four million square feet of commercial real estate across the United States on behalf of individual and institutional investors. [Sun-Sentinel] – Mike Seemuth
