“The Plank Court office building provided the opportunity to acquire a quality asset with positive cash flow in the Milwaukee market,” Christina Podoll Ballweg, SARA vice president of investor relations, said in a statement.

The company noted it plans to generate additional value from the property by reinvesting current cashflow into lease-up efforts.

“We plan to keep the same leasing team in place to benefit from traction they have gained within the market,” Podoll Ballweg said. “As well, we have budgeted to provide competitive tenant improvement packages to assist new tenants with the build-out of their space.”
