Shorenstein Sells Santa Clara Towers

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Shorenstein Properties LLC ("Shorenstein"), an owner and operator of high-quality office, residential and mixed-use properties across the U.S., today announced the sale of Santa Clara Towers to an undisclosed institutional investor. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Prominently located along Highway 101 in the Golden Triangle submarket of Santa Clara, the more than 445,000 square-foot property comprises twin Class A office towers capable of accommodating a range of full floor and multi-tenant configurations. Santa Clara Towers offers convenient access to Route 237 and Interstate 880 and is in close proximity to major hotels, universities and San Jose International Airport.

"We are excited to have reached this agreement for the sale of Santa Clara Towers," said Jed Brush, Senior Vice President at Shorenstein. "I am confident that under new ownership, Santa Clara Towers will continue to attract a diverse mix of tenants who seek a Class A office experience in the heart of Silicon Valley."

Shorenstein's Ninth Fund initially acquired the mezzanine loan on Santa Clara Towers from Lehman Brothers in 2008, and then through a deed in lieu of a foreclosure transaction assumed ownership of the property in 2010. Shorenstein has invested capital to make a number of enhancements to the property, including a full lobby renovation at Tower II, new corridor lighting and elevator finish upgrades. These improvements accompany a strong suite of onsite amenities such as a newly renovated fitness center, indoor pool, spacious parking structure and the iconic Birk's Restaurant, among others.

Russell Ingrum, Joe Moriarty, Scott Prosser and Jack DePuy with CBRE represented Shorenstein in the transaction.
