Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Brandywine Realty Trust (the "Parent Company") is the sole general partner of Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.”
On February 2, 2017, the Company sold two properties containing an aggregate of 350,256 square feet (the "Concord Properties") located in Concord, California for a gross sales price of $33.1 million. The Concord Properties were 100.0% occupied at closing and were built in 1984. The disposition of the Concord Properties was structured as a tax deferred like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Company has deposited with a qualified intermediary the proceeds from the sale, totaling $32.0 million after closing costs and prorations, to be held pending reinvestment in qualifying replacement property under Section 1031. The Company is not affiliated with the buyer, and the terms of the transaction were determined through arm's-length negotiations. The individual listing of the Properties is shown below:
