Cousins Properties Inc. (CUZ: Quote) said Wednesday that it has acquired 2100 Ross Avenue, an 844,000-square-foot, Class-A office building located in the Arts District submarket of Dallas, Texas.

The Company purchased the office tower at a foreclosure auction for a net purchase price of $59.2 million. Cousins had previously acquired a $10 million B-note backed by 2100 Ross Avenue in an off-market transaction.

The property is currently 67% leased to a diverse tenant base, including CBRE, Prudential Mortgage Capital and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Cousins plans to reposition the property through a comprehensive capital improvement plan that implements a variety of common area and amenity-oriented enhancements. The plan also will leverage the building's excellent location adjacent to Dallas' leading cultural venues and the new 5.2-acre Clyde Warren Park, which now connects the Arts District to Uptown Dallas.

Stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading day on Friday, more than offsetting the weakness seen on Thursday. In a reversal from the previous session, the markets benefited from some upbeat U.S. economic data as well as comments from a Federal Reserve official. The major averages saw further upside going into the close, with the Dow and the S&P 500 reaching new record highs. As the IRS targeting scandal continues to make headlines, animal-protection charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, claims that conservative groups are not the only ones that have faced increased scrutiny from the agency. While the IRS targeting scandal has taken center stage on Capitol Hill on Friday, the results of a new Gallup poll showed that the American public's interest in the story is comparatively low based on historical measures. The poll showed that 54 percent of Americans are following the news that the IRS targeted conservative groups for greater scrutiny "very" or "somewhat" closely.
