Nothing firm from the co. yet, but it's been rumored that PGE has sold 70% of Dearborn Ctr, (Now BOCC) to a German fund. Hard to call until details, but likely good.

Doggy,
I had just logged on to correct my first post, and saw your comment. Upon first reading this am, I assumed the whole $12.4MM was savings that would flow to FFO. It looks more like... login to read the rest | |

Actually it means Lehman blesses One IBM Plaza, not necessaarily PGE. This re-fi is good news, but it doesn't provide anywhere near 0.50 in additional FFO. Most of the 12.4m in "savings" is not real.... login to read the rest | |

No, PGE isn't driving me to AA, but, rather Arthur Anderson bot out their lease with PGE for 33 W. Monroe for $32MM. Seems like a pretty decent price for PGE. Additionally, the "market" rent... login to read the rest | |

Yeah, what a soap opera! I'm being told that NL tried to steal the company. That they thought they could muscle PGE into giving them control of the co. for a sliver of equity. But,... login to read the rest | |

Hi Sparky,
There seems to be a lot going on here and was wondering what your thoughts were.
A this point, do you find the preferred or the common more appealing? | |

Pirate,
Not really. I am told they are still in serious negotiations. The prices being discussed are all over, and subject to confusion, since some folks talk net of loans, some folk otherwise. There seems to... login to read the rest | |

Any sense if Bank One has put in a final bid for the building and what it might sell for? That one building is such a large part of the equity equation. Thanks. | |

I thought the CC went well.
The addition of Crocker to the BOT has great ramifications.
