JLL secures $18.9M in financing on behalf of Bullock Capital for two off market Bay Area office assets

SILICON VALLEY, Mar. 31, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $18.9 million in two separate financings for 1504 Franklin St. and 69 Green St., two office properties located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Bullock Capital, to secure two separate floating-rate acquisition loans through Northern Trust. Northern Trust provided a $10.5 million loan for 1504 Franklin St., and an $8.4 million loan for 69 Green St. to facilitate the acquisition and stabilization of each asset.

1504 Franklin St. is positioned in Oakland’s central business district close to numerous retail, restaurant and transportation options. The 27,440-square-foot building features 25,000 square feet of office space and 2,000 square feet of retail space.

69 Green St. is located in the highly coveted North Waterfront / Jackson Square submarket of San Francisco. The four-level, 13,500-square-foot building will be repositioned into Class A creative office space to capitalize on strong office demand for best in class space in the North Waterfront / Jackson Square submarket.

The Bullock Capital team was led by CEO and Founder Ben Bullock and Vice President Kenny Bruzzone.

“Our team’s ability to be nimble in the face of a disjointed office market has allowed us to come away with these two extremely well-located off market acquisitions, each at a phenomenal basis, at a time when it is beginning to look like COVID is finally behind us,” says Bruzzone.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Jordan Angel and Director Taylor Gimian.

“JLL is incredibly excited to be part of Bullock Capital’s acquisition of these two great office assets,” Angel added. “1504 Franklin has the best tenant improvement build outs I’ve seen in Oakland, including pioneering building systems well-positioned for today’s ESG-focused tenant base. 69 Green’s location is ideally located in the hot North Waterfront / Jackson Square market and when the renovation is complete will offer a tenant the unique opportunity to control their own building with a best-in-class build out.”
