Newmark announced it has arranged the sale of 1155 Bryant Street, a 32,421-square-foot Production, Design and Repair (“PDR”) building in San Francisco’s South of the Market (“SoMa”) for an undisclosed amount.
Newmark’s Executive Managing Directors Mark Geisreiter and Charlie Withers represented the buyers – Paceline Investors and Rialto Capital Management. The private seller was 1155 Bryant Street, L.P.
“1155 Bryant is an outstanding renovated building with a significant lab buildout which is very rare in San Francisco,” said Jay Atkinson, Managing Principal at Paceline Investors. “Demand for both lab and R&D space in San Francisco remains strong, and we anticipate a very positive reaction to the building by the tenant community.”
Located at Bryant and 10th Streets, the property occupies a prime SoMa location, in proximity to amenities and excellent freeway access. The property recently underwent a creative office renovation with a fully built out R&D laboratory component. Additionally, the building features high ceilings with skylights, a passenger elevator and I-80 Freeway signage visibility.
Newmark’s Geisreiter and Withers are also the leasing agents of the property.
The San Francisco PDR market’s overall vacancy rate rose 160 basis points in 20Q2 to 4.8 percent, according to Newmark Research. Asking rents decreased 2.5 percent in Q2, averaging $61.57 per square foot. Demand for high-quality PDR space remains healthy despite uncertainties in the overall market.
