WANNA BUY A BUILDING CHEAP ?

By Bob Walsh



The address is 350 California Street in San Francisco.  It was valued at $300 million a few years back.  They owners feel they will be lucky to get $60 million for it now.  It is way over half empty with no prospect of new tenants any time soon.  It is hard to say how much of this is caused by things in general and how much of this is caused by the disgusting quality of life issues in the City by the Bay.  

One of the interesting by products of this sale is that it is said that if will likely trigger massive numbers of requests for re-evaluation for tax purposes of commercial real estate in S. F.  It if happens this 80% drop in valuation could result in a HUGE hit to the finances of the city and county.  

Fuck 'em.
