McLean, Virginia � June 18, 2004 � The investment community�s voracious

by Molinaro Koger�s announcement today that the firm structured the rapid
sale of the Sheraton Hotel, Washington, DC, on behalf of the Stephen A.
Goldberg Company, a prominent DC real estate development company, in the
wake of highly competitive bidding.
Purchased by an affiliate of The JBG Companies of Chevy Chase, Maryland, for an undisclosed amount, the 265�room property is located on 12th and K Streets in an upscale DC business district. JBG is currently developing a Class A office building across from the hotel site.
