C&W's local managing director Joe Cook tells GlobeSt.com the assignment totals 776,782 sf. Transamerica Pyramid, built in 1972, totals 491,799 sf and is 94.5% leased. The other buildings in the deal are 505 Sansome (180,963 sf; 78% leased), 545 Sansome (50,525 sf; 92% leased) and 2 Bryant (53,495 sf; 100% leased).
