NGKF Capital Markets today announced the sale of One Eleven Market Square, a 320,559-square-foot, two-tower office property in downtown San Jose. San Francisco-based real estate firm Ridge Capital Investors, LLC purchased the property in partnership with an undisclosed commingled discretionary equity fund. Independent investment firm Swift Real Estate Partners sold the property after the completion of significant capital improvements in just over two years of ownership.
Currently 78% leased to a diverse tenant mix across a wide spectrum of industries, One Eleven Market Square tenants include Pacific Business Centers, Rockwell Automation, Inc., Kerio Technologies, Inc., BAM Labs, Opportunity Fund and Diamanti.
“Market Square is positioned at the apex of the downtown San Jose resurgence,” said Steve Golubchik, co-head of NGKF Capital Markets Northern California who handled the sale together with Edmund Najera and Ben Bucci. “Substantial residential development in the surrounding area coupled with exceptional access to public transit and retail amenities makes Market Square a compelling opportunity.”
Strategically located in the heart of downtown San Jose, One Eleven Market Square is comprised of two towers - 111 West St. John Street rises 12 stories and encompasses 163,775 square feet; 111 North Market Street is 10 stories and includes 156,784 square feet. San Jose’s iconic food and entertainment hub, San Pedro Square, is adjacent to One Eleven Market Square, and tenants enjoy access to more than 100 immediate amenities within walking distance.
