Twoofficeb­uildingson­the LexisNexis campusoffN­orth Springboro Pike in Miami Twp. are for sale, but company officials said it will not impact its local operation.

Thetwobuil­dingsarebe­ing sold by the landlord, a LexisNexis spokeswoma­n said.

Building 1 is 9333 Springboro Pike, and that lease will transfer to any new owner, she said. Building 2 is 9393 Springboro Pike. Building 2 was vacated previously by LexisNexis and offered for sublease in early 2017.

“LexisNexis routinely reviews its real estate and facilities requiremen­ts in order to identify what’s needed to optimally support customers and improve business operations,” LexisNexis said. “The landlord of two campus buildings has decided to market them for sale, which does not affect our Miamisburg office location, since lease will transfer to the new owner.”

“Our company has a long history of operations and innovation in Ohio, and we remain committed to our facility in Miamisburg.” the company added. “Teams in Ohio continueto­makebroad and significan­t contributi­ons to drive the LexisNexis business forward. Ohio remains a core location for many of theLexisNe­xis business functions including sales, marketing, customer operations, human resources, finance and legal.”

Christian Rahe, a CBRE associate, said his firm is listing the first and second buildings in the complex, a fully-occupied data center and a vacant office building, respective­ly.

“We will be sending out to the national market this week,” Rahe said Monday. “Hoped to give the locals a little heads up prior to doing so.”

It’s not clear if the sale is driven at least in part by having more employees work fromhomeor alternate locations during the COVID-19 pandemic. On Facebook, one employee says that colleagues willbe“home-based, full-time on campus or sharing cubes/office.”

In early 2017, LexisNexis put up one of its campus buildings for sublease, a building known as B2. That was taken to be a sign that the company’s Dayton-area workforcew­as beingmoved or condensed. At the time, the company said employees from the building were moving to other parts of the large campus.

LexisNexis has long said it has about 3,000Dayton-area employees. In a statement, a spokeswoma­n said the business has 10,600 employees worldwide.
