CFA Institute sells Charlottesville HQ for $21.9M

The Charlottesville headquarters of CFA Institute sold for $21.9 million, Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer announced Tuesday.

The 150,000-square-foot office building, at 915 E. High St., is the former Martha Jefferson Hospital, which opened in 1904, according to Cvillepedia. CFA Institute, a nonprofit association of investment professionals, will lease back 47,000 square feet for its ongoing operations. The location has been the institute’s home since 2014, after a renovation that included sustainability features.

Thalhimer has been awarded the leasing by the buyer, Lo-Hi LLC, and the building will remain Class A office space. It is the only Class A building near downtown with parking. Lo-Hi will also be opening Lo-Hi Coworking, which will provide private executive office space for companies with up to 10 employees.

John Pritzlaff and Jenny Stoner of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer handled the sale and lease negotiations on behalf of the buyer and will handle the office space leasing going forward.
