Judge approves sale of Centre Square Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $70M, 21% of its purchase price of $328M in 2017.
15% of its $471.1M appraisal in 2019.
$368M CMBS
The 85% decline in value means even the bond’s safest slices, once rated AAA, will get hit, while holders of seven lower-ranking tranches will be wiped out.
A loss at the AAA level would mark just the third time since the financial crisis that investors in a top-rated CMBS have gotten hit.
Pimco holds roughly $58M in face value across the deal, about half in the top-rated portion.
Occupancy declined from 98% to 23%.

Six figures and still struggling: Dollar General CEO says Americans earning $100,000 'don't feel high income' anymore
Dollar General's CEO Todd Vasos said persistent inflation and high gas prices are pushing consumers across income groups to become more careful about how and where they spend.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Global Consumer and Retail Conference, Vasos said Dollar General's core customers - whom he defined as those earning less than $45,000 - change their habits when gas prices approach $4 a gallon.
For Dollar General, the changing shopping habits represent an opportunity to attract customers who might once have considered themselves above discount stores.
Vasos said the chain's more than 2,000 items priced at $1 or less are particularly meaningful to shoppers in the current environment.

I'm very glad to pay a state visit to your beautiful country, the United States of America. Thank you, President Trump and Mrs. Trump, for the warm hospitality you have extended to me and my wife. On behalf of the 1.4 billion and more Chinese people, I wish to begin by extending sincere greetings to the American people and warm congratulations on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence.
Both China and the United States are great countries, and both the Chinese and American peoples are great peoples. I am visiting the United States at President Trump's invitation to carry on our friendship, expand cooperation, and promote the well-being of both our peoples.

475 17th St. in downtown Denver, Colorado once eyed for conversion hits the auction block in Nov
Sold for $26M in 2015 Starting Bid $750,000
In 2024, local developer Revesco Properties proposed fashioning some 200 units out of the building.
By October 2025, when Revesco asked for funding from the Denver Downtown Development Authority, the unit count had dropped to 140.
The DDDA has provided low-interest loans to a number of downtown conversion projects, providing a critical subsidy.
