ABOUT THE PROPERTY
This office tower is located in the heart of San
Francisco’s Financial District. At purchase, the rents were
significantly below market and the $227 per square foot purchase price
was well below the $300 per square foot sales of comparable properties.
Shortly after acquiring the property, the rental market leasing rates
started increasing dramatically. ZKS took advantage of this rising
rental market to negotiate several lease buyouts and early lease
terminations, re-leasing the space at significantly higher rental rates.
During the ownership period, rents increased from less than $40 per
square foot to $80 per square foot. The property was sold 14 months
after purchase for $332 per square foot, which generated a realized IRR
of 129%.
