Mockingbird Station was purchased in May of 2005 as a core plus asset with upside expected from an improving location and upgrades to the tenant base. The project generally met expectation for the first few years from a rent and occupancy standpoint, but the deepening financial crises in 2008 began to impact both rents and occupancy.

In October of 2009 a fire occurred in the HVAC unit that serves the office portion of the building.  While the fire was small and contained within the HVAC unit, smoke and other products of combustion were spread throughout floors 3-11.​
