Blackstone Group LP (BX) acquired the Solana corporate park near Dallas for $180 million in a bet on growth in the area’s office market, according to a person with knowledge of the investment.

Blackstone plans to spend about $110 million to renovate and lease up the half-empty property, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the deal is private. The seller was a bondholder group represented by CWCapital Asset Management LLC, which foreclosed after developer Robert Maguire defaulted on $395 million of debt in 2009, the person said.
