The building is currently 97% occupied and its tenants include Rogers Memorial Hospital, Prosthetic Dental Associates and Madison Endodontic Associates.
“We’re excited to leverage the client-focused property management services we provide to our tenants in Park West II to meet the needs of our new tenants in Park West I,” Noel said. “We have deep roots here and are pleased to strengthen commitment to our clients in the Madison area."The Park West I office building is located near the entrance of University Research Park, a research and technological oriented business park on 351 acres that is home to approximately 128 companies and generates almost a billion dollars in economic impact each year.
