Bluett & Associates Directs Sale of Oakland Tribune Building

Bluett & Associates, a national commercial real estate firm headquartered in Sacramento, Calif., has completed the sale of the historic 85,000-sq.-ft. Oakland Tribune building in Oakland, Calif. The building was sold out of receivership for a base price of $8 million to CallSocket L.P., a company that intends to establish an international call center at the building and create 2,300 new jobs in Oakland over the next three years.

Lori Bluett, president of Bluett & Associates, represented the seller, special servicer Torchlight Investors. The buyer, CallSocket, LP, was represented by CB Richard Ellis brokers David Noravian, Hyoung Chon and Robert Newstead.

The building was collateralized by a $10.3 million securitized loan that was transferred to Torchlight in December 2009 after the borrower defaulted. Bluett was subsequently appointed as receiver in November 2010 and took control of all aspects of the property’s operation.

Bluett & Associates will be staying on to manage the asset.

As part of the sale, CallSocket signed a lease for 45 percent of the building, with plans to open an international call center. In addition, CallSocket will work in partnership with the San Francisco Regional Center LLC to create up to 2,000 additional jobs over the next two to three years in multiple businesses.

Through the receivership sale, the buyer was able to assume and restructure the existing debt using an A/B note structure. This assumption via receivership sale structure is being used by various lenders to minimize their losses on defaulted loans and broaden the buyer pools, according to Bluett.

The buyer assumed an A-note for a majority of the price of the building, and the A-note has the same interest rate of the original loan. The balance of the original loan was partitioned into a non-interest bearing B-note. If the asset is sold or the loan is refinanced, the B-note will be repaid by an amount equal to 50 percent of the gross proceeds, less a 12.5 percent return for the buyer’s initial equity, as well as all money spent on capital improvements during the term of the loan.
