The 1889 building is drawing interest from some of the country’s biggest landlords.
Some of the country’s biggest real estate investors want to buy control of San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building in a deal that could exceed $300 million.
Kilroy Realty Corp, Hudson Pacific Properties In.c, Invesco Plc, and Thor Equities, are all competing to acquire the building, according to five, sources. A buyer could be selected within a month, said the sources.
The pending deal is another sign of San Francisco’s enduring appeal for major office investors as rents have jumped and little supply is being added.
The 1889 Ferry Building at the eastern terminus of Market Street includes 175,000 square feet of office space and 65, 000 square feet of retail in a popular ground-floor marketplace. The building and its weekly farmer’s markets draw tens of thousands of visitors a week. Its office space with waterfront views also commands some of the highest rents in the city, up to $100 per square feet.
