Been talking about the commercial real estate depression since Covidians.

But this is NUTs

The sale of two Denver office towers for $3.2 million, or $3 per square foot, is insane.

Typically, office space in urban areas like Denver commands much higher rates, often ranging from $200 to $400 per square foot or more, depending on location, condition, and market demand.

This price suggests absolute bleeding out of CRE in USA.

Now to be honest, if I knew about this deal I would have purchased it. I know in 5 years it will be back to $500 or so a sq ft.

FOR THE EUROS

This is about €28 per square meter.

Been involved in commercial realestate since 70's. This was a steal at $3.00 a S.F.

The London, UK, office block I work in is up for sale just 18 months after the current owners purchased it. They're asking for £8M less than they bought it for!

Bad signs ahead

The buyer, Asher Luzzatto (The Luzzato Company), is targeting an office-to-residential conversion. That means the sale price predominantly reflects residual land or redevelopment value, not current office income.

I would be willing to bet that the sale was all done behind closed doors. My buddy and i use to buy foreclosure properties and we learned quick that the great deals all seemed to find their way to a certain group before the avg buyers even got a chance or in this case, before 99% even knew about it.

What other costs go into buying a building like this, insurances, maintenence etc, the cost of holding on to it for 5 years would be hefty I would think, curious what that would be?

Maybe for conversion into rentals, but I don't think office space is going to be as popular as it once was prior to covid.

With AI do we need but a fraction of future office workers???

I travel up and down the NE corridor and commercial real estate is a major issue. It’s a combination of new work norms and practices, over valuing commerical real estate and owners unwilling to negotiate reasonable leases. I’ve heard dozens of stories where retailers want to stay in a physical site, but owners think we are still living in 2019. I understand there is pressure to keep this real estate at these pre-Covid prices, but too many living in denial.

Looked this up and there were 2 other towers in Denver purchased in 2024 for $3M at $3/sqft. Dominion Towers? Is $3/sqft really the going rate?
