WASHINGTON, DC–Trepp notes that when — as it appears that it will — Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. moves out of 1200 K St., NW, in late 2018, it will vacate 98% of the 389,561-square foot building. After which, other dominoes may start to fall.
Trepp writes:
The property backs the $126.1 million 1200 K Street loan, which makes up 13.3% of the remaining collateral behind DBUBS 2011-LC1A. The loan is a tenant-in-common structure, with Brookfield listed as the property manager. The note is current and matures in early 2021. The loan was underwritten with an LTV of 63 in 2011, and almost 9% of the initial principal balance has amortized away.
Two years ago, almost to the day, Brookfield Property Partners sold a 49% stake of a local office portfolio to joint venture partner AustralianSuper for $349 million. 1200 K St., NW was one of those eight properties, which at the time were 96% occupied.
PBGC Shoehorns Employees Into The Portals
Trepp warned CMBS investors via a trading alert last year that the PBGC was looking to move.
Now it appears to have found its new home — the Portals, although the deal still requires Senate approval. (Hat tip to the Washington Business Journal)
According to a government prospectus, PBGC, which is located in two other offices besides 1200 K St. — 1225 I St., NW and 1275 K St., NW — would move into 445 12th St. SW, taking 35,360 square feet less than it currently occupies, or 111 per square foot per employee from 125 square feet.
The lease would resolve a protracted legal battle between the GSA and an affiliate of Republic Properties Corp., the WBJ reports.
