The entire project will total just over 100,000 square feet of commercial space in addition to the parking garage.

The property formerly housed the 32,500-square-foot Justice Building, which was purchased by Blackhawk in December 2013. Berger represented Blackhawk in its purchase and currently provides leasing and property management for the project.
