The 26-story, 360-foot (110 m) tower was completed in 2009 and is completely leased by Microsoft,[3] whose Bing development team as well as many AI teams are headquartered there. It is located adjacent to the Bellevue Transit Center and its sister building, City Center Bellevue, which was completed in 1986.[1][2] City Center East was originally owned by Beacon Capital Partners before it was sold to for $310 million in 2010.[4][5] It was sold again to in 2012, for $347.7 million, a 21 percent increase.[6]
