In a notable move indicative of a revitalizing San Francisco office market, the Uber Technologies Inc. global headquarters at 1655 and 1725 Third St. has been refinanced to $500 million. The deal was orchestrated by CBRE's Debt and Structured Finance team on behalf of a joint venture that includes affiliates of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., Uber Technologies, Inc., and the Golden State Warriors. This substantial financing, acquired through a five-year, fixed-rate CMBS/SASB loan, marks a positive turn for real estate investments in the city's Mission Bay neighborhood.

Brad Zampa and Mike Walker of CBRE secured the non-recourse loan from financial giants Goldman Sachs and Barclays. "The San Francisco office market is showing significantly stronger leasing fundamentals over the past few quarters and is experiencing a resurgence in investor activity," Zampa stated in a report on ConnectCRE. He commented on the attractive liquidity surge for both debt and equity in the sector, highlighting that the high-quality, well-leased nature of the Uber headquarters was a significant factor in the recent transaction.

Confirming the transaction on social media, Bradford Zampa of CBRE expressed his enthusiasm for having played a role in one of the West Coast's prominent refinancing transactions in recent times. "CBRE Capital Markets is thrilled to announce Uber HQ's successful $500 million refinance in San Francisco, CA," Zampa celebrated in a LinkedIn post. He acknowledged his team's gratitude for the opportunity to serve a client base that includes noteworthy entities like Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Uber, and the Golden State Warriors.
