Wells Real Estate Investment Trust Inc. on Wednesday announced it has acquired Las Colinas Corporate Center I and II in Irving, Texas.
MetLife sold the two class A office buildings, which rise six and eight stories, respectively, and total 386,000 square feet. Las Colinas Corporate Center I and II were constructed in 1997 and 1998, respectively.

The property also offers possibilities for future development by Wells. An adjacent development site could accommodate another 150,000-square-foot building.
