“With the completion of the sale of the Disposition Portfolio, Easterly refined its focus on owning mission critical agencies executing their important jobs from build-to-suit facilities,” said William C. Trimble, III, Easterly's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe this is a key differentiator from traditional office-focused peers which gives us confidence in our long-dated, government-backed, stable cashflows.”
