WASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) – The headquarters of the
Washington Post is being sold to Carr Properties, a real estate
investment company, for about $159 million, the newspaper’s
former owner said on Wednesday.
Graham Holdings Co, which sold the Post to Amazon
founder Jeffrey Bezos for $250 million in August, said in a
statement the sale of the headquarters in downtown Washington
was scheduled to be completed in March and included land next to
the building.
The Post will rent its newsroom from the building’s new
owner while it looks for a new headquarters.
Graham Holdings, owned by Donald Graham and his family,
former owners of the paper, operates businesses including Kaplan
education services, and online, print and television news.
Formerly the Washington Post Co, the company’s new
name and stock symbol become official on Friday.
