Presidio Bay and Prado Chosen to Buy Shuttered San Francisco Centre

A due‑diligence window of up to three months now begins before any redevelopment plans are set.

Overview

  • Presidio Bay Ventures and Prado Group secured exclusive rights to acquire the downtown complex, with the purchase price undisclosed.
  • Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase took control through foreclosure on a loan exceeding $560 million and launched a rapid sale process.
  • Price guidance was about $100 million, with expectations for winning bids to top $130 million, according to Chronicle reporting.
  • No reuse plan has been announced, with zoning allowing potential towers and a San Francisco Unified School District land lease that could constrain options.
  • The multi‑block property, known for its Beaux‑Arts glass dome, saw steep tenant losses after a 2023 default and was reported about 95% vacant by September 2025.
