JLL represented the seller, Bridge Investment Group, and procured the buyer, a foreign private investor.
1400 Union Meeting is positioned on 18.6 acres in the heart of Montgomery County, just minutes from the three primary thoroughfares in the Philadelphia suburbs, Interstates 276 and 476, and Route 202. The area surrounding the property is highly amenitized with numerous high-end shopping and dining destinations, including the Plymouth Meeting Mall. Additionally, 1400 Union Meeting Rd. is close to the affluent executive neighborhoods of King of Prussia, Conshohocken and Center City.
