LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE:HPP) has completed the $34.9 million
acquisition of the 144,440-square-foot, two-building, 222 Kearny Street
office property in San Francisco’s North Financial District from an
affiliate of Canyon Capital Realty Advisors.
“Our relationship with the seller, which we have developed over many
years, led to the opportunity to acquire this property through an
off-market transaction. This is a good fit with our investment strategy,
an attractive office property at a premier location in the heart of San
Francisco for good value,” said Howard S. Stern, president, Hudson
Pacific Properties. “San Francisco is one of our company’s top targets
for expansion. We will continue to grow our presence here through the
acquisition of other well-located-office properties.”
222 Kearny Street, located at the northeast corner of Sutter and Kearny
Streets, is comprised of two buildings, a 10-story office tower built in
1986 and the five-story, 180 Sutter Street building built in 1915. The
historic low rise building located at 180 Sutter boasts a distinctive
articulated façade and substantial interior renovations complementing
the adjacent Class A, 10-story glass and steel tower at 222 Kearny, both
of which benefit from one of the city’s major pedestrian and transit
corridors. A portion of the 222 Kearny building sits on a long-term
ground lease.
“With easy access to both the financial district and Union Square
shopping and dining, in the hub of the area’s public transportation
network, it is a popular location choice for a variety of businesses
from professional service firms to creative technology companies,” Stern
added.
Hudson Pacific Properties also owns 875 Howard Street, a
286,000-square-foot office property South of Market across from the
Moscone Convention Center.
