Trades continue to take place in the Class B office sector with 15 Broad Street coming to market.

From The Real Reporter:

“the 73,500-sf “jewel box” building that is 100 percent occupied and has a cachet one observer terms “exceptional,” so much so that market estimates are putting the anticipated price range for an exchange around $475 per sf, which if accurate would be in the range of $35 million…As to pricing prospects, the concept of a deal around $475 per sf is bolstered by a similarly sized trade of another nearby asset in May when JLL delivered its client $479 per sf on the sale of One Milk St. to Midwood Investment and the $438 per sf Capital Properties paid to ELV Associates via Cushman & Wakefield a month before that for 66 Long Wharf, a 77,600-sf waterfront building blocks from Broad Street that carried a capitalization rate of 5.0 percent. “I could see that,” one downtown specialist says when asked if 15 Broad St. could even eclipse that $34.0 million outcome. The industry veteran looks more to the building itself for that conclusion, citing its proven appeal to small- and medium-size companies who have 15 Broad St. filled to the rafters with leases ranging from under 1,000 sf to a 14,300-sf pact involving the top two floors that runs to March 2024.”
