Atlanta-based real estate investment trust Cousins Properties plans to raise about $100 million through a sale of common stock as it seeks to redeem certain preferred shares.

Cousins said Wednesday it plans to sell 8.7 million common shares. Cousins stock closed Wednesday at $11.59 per share. Wells Fargo Securities will underwrite the offering, Cousins said in a news release.

The company said any remaining proceeds from the stock sale “will be used for general corporate purposes,” which could include investments in new office properties and debt repayment.
