History
In 1999, DRA Advisors bought First Union Capitol Center.[2]
After the merger of First Union and Wachovia, Wachovia moved out of its 11-story 110,000 square feet (10,000 m2) building built in 1961.[3]
On January 31, 2007, Argus Realty Investors LP of San Clemente, California paid $153.4 million for Wachovia Capitol Center and its parking deck, plus retail space across the street. The amount was the most ever paid for a Triangle office building. At the time, Wachovia occupied 105,788 square feet (9,828.0 m2), and other major tenants included Deloitte & Touche, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Merrill Lynch, and KPMG, as well as the city's largest law firm Smith Anderson Blount.[2][4]
