settings within the context of suburban office campuses.” Added Glazer, “The institu- tional balance sheet and stew- ardship of Mack-Cali, coupled with the entrepreneurial plat- form of Keystone, positions the partnership strongly as we identify opportunities to further strengthen the portfo- lio, capitalizing on economies of scale and increased market penetration.” The office properties includ- ed in the portfolio are located in key submarkets, several of which are situated along Pennsylvania’s Main Line. ■
