An office building in Rancho Bernardo's Tech Park has changed hands for a cool $8 million, according to the latest scoop from the real estate grapevine. A plot spanning just over two acres and a two-story structure totaling 25,475 square feet was snapped up by Dominguez Channel LLC, confirming that the allure of prime office space remains potent in a persistent market.

Housing a fully leased commercial haven, 17075 Camino San Bernardo commanded a price of $314 per square foot, as stated in a report by Times of San Diego. Having the deal brokered by CBRE's Investment Properties team, the sale firmly places the property into the hands of an overseas private buyer, coming in stark contrast to the bygone myth of a decaying office market.

The transaction not only demonstrates stability in the real estate market but also underlines the strategic moves commonly enacted by overseas investors. Specifically aiming for benefits such as deferring capital gains taxes, such buyers are known for their calculative maneuvers to consolidate and diversify their holdings.

CBRE's executive vice president, Matt Pourcho, projected unwavering optimism about the enduring prominence of office real estate, stating that "The office market is not dead, and (these) buyers need to place capital," despite the ubiquitous murmurings predicting its downfall. This sentiment was echoed in a coverage by Connect CRE, where Pourcho further elaborated on the buyer's impetus, "This buyer was located overseas and purchased the building site unseen for a 5.8% cap rate."

The transaction points to a continuing trend where international investors exhibit a zealous motivation to capitalize on the American market. Such a robust appetite for premium office space, peppered with a suite of amenities including 115 parking spaces and an outdoor patio, underscores a confident stride towards reinforcing physical workspaces as a cornerstone of enterprise and productivity.
