San Jose office and retail building hits sales block after foreclosure
Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:12:54 GMT
SAN JOSE — A San Jose building seized through foreclosure has landed on the sales block, a potential deal that may provide clues about the strength — or weakness — of the office market.The development, located just south of downtown San Jose, was never completed and toppled into a loan default and eventual foreclosure, raising questions about the prominent property’s future.Now, Meacham Oppenheimer, a commercial real estate firm, is attempting to sell the office and retail complex on behalf of its current owner, the lender for the property.“We are showing the property regularly now,” said David Taxin, a principal executive and partner with Meacham Oppenheimer. “We have gotten fairly good interest from buyers.”The two-building complex totals about 15,500 square feet and occupies a very visible site next to a busy stretch of Monterey Highway between Umbarger Road and Lewis Road.The developer and prior owner of the complex had obtained $6...Borenstein: Even Bay Area congressional reps question BART’s fiscal folly

As BART hurls toward what it calls a fiscal cliff, one would expect the transit system to tap the brakes. Instead, its leaders are pressing the accelerator while insisting that Bay Area residents pay for a bridge over the rapidly approaching abyss.It’s fiscal recklessness that, if not stopped, could cost residents billions in higher taxes and bridge tolls. The good news is that six Bay Area members of Congress last week started questioning this insanity.In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom and the leaders of the state Senate and Assembly, Reps. Mark DeSaulnier, Anna Eshoo, Barbara Lee, Eric Swalwell, Mike Thompson and John Garamendi voiced “strong concerns” about a proposed $1.50 Bay Area bridge toll hike to bail out BART and other transit agencies.The letter from the six, all labor-friendly Democrats, indicates that the union-driven BART board majority is pushing the envelope beyond even what some of its allies can stomach.Congressional ethics rules prevent House members from explicitl...Opinion: Moving beyond thoughts and prayers to solutions on guns

All of California’s gun control laws couldn’t save Jose Hernandez III, one of the nine victims of the Valley Transportation Authority mass shooting. Despite our best efforts to achieve gun safety, there is still a catastrophic cost. It is a bill we all must pay.In California, we have a 10-day waiting period to purchase a gun. It’s illegal for anyone who doesn’t have a license to carry a gun in public. To buy a handgun, you must be at least 21. Yet guns are California’s third leading cause of death among kids. A gun suicide occurs every six hours. A mass shooting leaves an innocent person, such as Jose Hernandez III, dead every eight days. It’s always a terrible price to pay. Jose was a family man, a master mechanic and a guitarist in his church band. A disgruntled employee with a semiautomatic handgun killed Jose and eight others just a five-minute walk from my office.If our gun laws are so strict, why is there still so much bloodshed?
